      I hope my friends who support former President Trump won't bypass  this because of the title. I'd really like to share my feelings--all of them, without debate; and in a way so that they can be pondered thoughtfully, if you care to do so.     So, I have three key reasons why and I will explain each of them.  I'm a woman, I'm a minority, I'm a Christian.      The first two won't be as in-depth to explain as the last, but they are still very important.       As a woman, I can't support a candidate who views women as objects.
