_ **How bad a scandal for you to not vote for Trump’s 2020 Democratic opponent?** _

Public cannibalism.

…no, wait. Even if the candidate turns out to be one of my two least-favorites (Bernie or Gillibrand), and even if that candidate takes a big, enthusiastic bite out of a baby held up for the traditional kiss …

… I’d _still_ vote for him or her over Trump.

Earlier it was mentioned that the rotting corpse of Hitler would be ineligible for the Presidency, given that Hitler wasn’t born in the USA. Well, Charles Manson _was_ born in the USA.

So: yes. I would vote for the rotting corpse of Charlie Manson over Trump.

(And let’s be clear: Third-party voting is a vote for Trump. Not voting is a vote for Trump.)
