See, this just shows me that perspectives are very interesting. And words to me have meaning.

I doubt if ONE PERSON, or very many people here, literally HATE Donald Trump.

I mean, do you honestly believe that? Do you truly believe anyone here HATES Donald Trump?

Maybe you do. But for me, I see a lot of the same criticisms that you do. I’ll admit some people come across as more mature or more measured and mild than others.

But I seriously doubt if anyone HATES him. I think what they “hate” or are troubled by is here we are supporting a guy who was one of Obama’s biggest fans 6-7 years ago over nothing to go off of other than his own word that he’s “evolved” and changed. And again, I’ll say it again. I’ll buy that he’s maybe changed on some things. I won’t buy that he’s changed on EVERYTHING. He may not be a politician in the strictest sense, but he is running for political office. So to me, I want more than his word as the be all end all during a time in which he’s trying to convince people to vote for him. I mean, isn’t that a large reason why we’re in the mess we’re in? Because we trusted people running for political office based solely upon their word?

When I say vetting, again what I refer to is absolutely NOTHING that would trouble some Trump supporters about ANY other candidate in this race troubles them about Donald Trump. It’s automatically dismissed as a hit piece by the GOP establishment. Maybe some of that is true. But we can still either evaluate and decide whether what’s being presented is a point of concern or whether it isn’t. And again, more often than not, I don’t see people who are already supporting Trump doing that. There are some exceptions. And I appreciate those people who while still supporting a candidate, are nevertheless open enough and honest enough to say, “Hey this might be a problem. Or hey, he really needs to explain this.”

Yes, they display outight hatred. Even hatred at supporters. You can’t miss it.

Quite frankly, it is pretty awful. It is one thing to say the usual things we here over and over about candidates. It is another to act vile and spend time all day being totally nasty.

When a person is nasty, they can expect nasty back. Nobody is perfect around here, but there are some who are far worse.
