Her point was to relate income to the cost of everyday things (like a LaGuardia croissant, maybe not the best example, but ok). which is a fair comparison to make, whether one agrees with her conclusion or not (that one hour of hard work should buy a person two LaGuardia croissants). Ted Cruz, oh the humanity, claiming she wants "government-mandated free croissants for everyone #socialistlogic" was quite an unfair misrepresentation. To a point where I think to be on his side one has to prejudge her for being her a little.

And yeah I know you call Trump out too at times, but your measure stick seems to be way stricter in this case. I'd bet without proof that if Trump got slammed for something like that, you'd call it TDS and would have a point.



I figured it was to prove she meant something else as Dino claimed she meant. Like that she slammed LaGuardia croissants and hence hates free market prices and whatnot. Which, again, was not her point quite clearly.

You're kinda LOSING me here; was the point the price of the croissant or not?


Nah, the all caps is to have the reader pay particular attention (aka FOCUS) on that part of the message. Perhaps you guys do it different down under.  

Here's a quick exercise (no need to answer just you and anyone else that wants to participate may). Read Cruz's response to her and tell me what you focus on the most. 

And with all that said: I have never told anyone what they should only focus on. But it's trivial at this point. You can just roll with me asserting what someone else meant.
