What I see a lot of is Trump supporters who get embarrassed by something he says or does so they say we can't talk about it.  It is their "go to" defense.  They try to claim we should ignore what the leader of the free world has to say because it doesn't matter.

It reminds me of arguments I'd have with a friend of mine in junior high.  I specifically recall him saying that the Packers drafted Brett Favre and I told him the they got him via trade from the Falcons.  This was 1996 or so so you couldn't just look things up.  At any rate, I was even more of a short-fused jerk back then and he dug in his heels and eventually I had to track down some Windows 95 Sports Illustrated almanac on CD rom thing that proved he was wrong.

His response when faced with that was to say something along the lines of "Look how worked up you are and look how calm I am." and then I think he went on to play it off as if he knew Favre was drafted by the Falcons all along and he was just trying to make me crazy.

I guess the bottom line is that I always assumed while I was having absurdly childish "you got mad so I technically win" arguments as a kid the adults of the world were being more rational and civil about things.  Damn, I'm always wrong...but now I have an easier time being calm about it so  I guess I win?


Ok, back to the thread.  If Trump slips any further in the polls he's going to find a way to make sure we don't get an election in November.
