As is often the case, Brooks's article is worth the time reading and thinking about. And for the most part, the vigorous virtues listed, while not the only ones, are to be embraced. And while Donald Trump may possess some of these virtues, he seems to be sorely lacking in some others necessary to be a good president - honesty, tactfulness, breadth of vision, respect, intellectual curiosity, dignity, modesty,  moral character, and putting others before self. 
It's understandable why some people voted for Trump. Early on, I considered it myself. Maybe he could pull off what traditional politicians seemed unable to do - unite the country. But the more I saw of him the more I saw a man lacking in the other virtues and characteristics necessary to be a good president.
Sooner or later, continuing to vote for the lesser of two evils is going to catch up with you. The country is paying the price.
