Yes, even to those events.

I never said I don't think there were any hypocrites there. I said I don't think ALL of them were hypocrites.

I'd be more than glad to have a discussion, but only with someone who doesn't make shit up about what the other person said. Thanks.

I saved this for last because - despite the bullshit context - it is a decent discussion question. To answer that, let me first ask what you mean by "moral convictions"? That asked, if an anti-abortion person were to support Trump because they believe he's anti-abortion, I don't see what's hypocritical about that. If a Christian were to support Trump because Trump is a Christian, well, I'd probably question their intelligence. Beyond that I don't know if I'd necessarily say they were a hypocrite, but I don't know if I'd say they were NOT a hypocrite either; it would depend on what, outside of his claim that he's a Christian, that makes them think he's a Christian.

To directly answer the question asked, if ANYONE who thinks of themselves as of having high moral standards supports Trump because of Donald's morals, yes, I would think of them as being a hypocrite.

Now, that I've answered your question (in 2 different ways), please answer mine:
Do you think that anyone who claims to support a particular politician agrees with that politician 100% in absolutely everything? Or is it possible to support a politician but to do so because there is no alternative or you think the alternative is worse? I'm not saying this is the case of everyone at the event (or even most) but you don't think it's even possible that a few maybe support Trump but only because the alternative was Hillary?
