If: 1) being more rational makes you more moral

2) he's saying things during this campaign he doesn't really believe

3) dishonesty, especially dishonesty in the context of a political campaign, is immoral

Then: c) His recent behavior is evidence against his rationality, in the same sense his pre-political success is evidence for it.

dishonesty, especially dishonesty in the context of a political campaign, is immoral

He could expect to do enough good as president to outweigh that.

I doubt it, though.
