Secondly, it is to point out that fallacy employed by those that constantly criticize Trump by engaging in the same tactics he employs. The Left hates that Trump hates so they reciprocate with guess what.....Hate.
As to being ill-fitted for POTUS, I will and have said many of his actions are below the Office, but all I can do is cast my vote and make the most of the situation. If I want to try to illustrate the hate espoused by some; so be it. There are great many that feel he is perfectly suited for POTUS; what makes their opinion less than mine? I was equally aloof while Obama was in Command; although, I disagreed with a great many of his choices. I can only think of about 5-6 time I overtly criticized him in his 8 years. Some do that with Trump in one day and vilified O'Riely, Limbaugh, and others for questioning Obama. Life's too short to be filled with such venom.
For instance this very thread has turned from who opined the NYT article to excusing Obama for conduct that is beneath the office simply because Trump is beneath the office.
1. The whole "People who hate Nazi'/slaveowners/pedophiles are just as bad as the Nazis/slaveowners/pedophiles" logic is ridiculous, but it is one of the favorite arguments of Nazis, slave owners, and pedophiles.
2. You have never been "aloof". In thread after thread you have dug in your heels and gotten into very heated debates based on your deeply held conservative beliefs. Everyone here has seen this. Claiming you are "aloof" is a joke. How many people around here get suspended for being too "aloof"?
