I abhor his rhetoric, disagree with his isolationist foreign policy and don't like the idea of electing someone without government experience, but I am coming around to him. I do not believe that America can be "great" like the post-war years when the rest of the world was shattered by war, but my number one issue is increasing the level of assimilation and (cultural/religious) homogeneity in America, and I think Trump is the best candidate to make that happen. If that requires social/governmental pressure and tough rhetoric, the ends justify the means.

I'm currently leaning towards voting for Clinton because of her foreign policy, but I'm constantly flirting with the idea of supporting Trump in the general. The world would be a better place with a Clinton presidency relative to a Trump presidency, but I'm not convinced America would be.
I have similar thoughts.

His rhetoric is terrible, but he brings up good points about protectionism and isolationism.  Clinton just seems too establishment.  I really don't know who to vote for.

There's still some assimilation. It's just intentionally divisive assimilation. Telling oth Ethiopian and Nigerian immigrants they have to assimilate into the black category...telling both Chinese and Pakistani immigrants they need to assimilate into the Asian category.
This is more the fault of the Census Bureau which invented these artificial groups rather than the Democrats who exploit them.

I think it's time you flip that D to an R. You sound like a Conservative Republican right now.
Trump Democrat, really.

As soon as the GOP disavows trickle-down economics, count me in. Even if I end up voting for Trump, I'll remain a registered Democrat.
Essentially, yes: the GOP may align with Conservative Democrats social views more, but their economic policies are not at all aligned with ours.  Voting for that would be outside our interests.

What if we get a GOP nominee who would kill the TPP on day one, expressed support for the British NHS, and has garnered the universal opposition of Wall Street? And a Democratic nominee who negotiated the TPP.
I might strongly consider that Republican.
