The intentions of bringing the ‘comma-la vs’ wing are irrelevant. Their priorities say everything.
I'm assuming this is directed at my post. If not, the following doesn't address your post.
First off, reading the origin of the name pronunciation will help you understand that I was responding to a post in context of questioning someone else's pronunciation of Harris' name. Especially ironic given your "close enough, I'll go with it" argument.
Second, I've never attempted to defend Trump in a single post on this board, and certainly not even implied such in this thread. As far as priorities are concerned, I've essentially stated that the pronunciation issue is not important enough to affect the democratic ticket nor should become a serious topic of conversation. Somehow in your haste to cast me as a Trump advocate, or some sort of equivalency provider, you've missed "everything" that those statements above say.
