Stating a difference of opinion is not a personal attack.
Flame on, oh wisest person in the world. I bow to your infinite wisdom.
I didn't flame you at all. The closest I came to insulting you was my reference to Ted fooling a lot of people. I don't consider that a major insult. People are fooled all the time through no fault of their own. It happens to all of us.
Also, you insult my wife,...
I did not insult your wife.
...I with think you are a dick too...
You're welcome to think whatever you like about me. That doesn't change the truth I addressed regarding Ted Cruz.
...and it would be very hard to support you.
I'm not running for office. Ted was. I was not the only person to see Ted for who he was. Ted could not gain ground. There was a reason why.
Loyalty to your wife and integrity matters.
Yes they do. And there were two more reasons Ted couldn't connect. People did not see him treating his wife very decently, more of a campaign prop than anything else, and as for integrity... well that's a hoot.
It is called an analogy. If one thing is compared to another. It is common in logical arguments.
I disagree with you own assessment of Trump. He is not the man you think he is (and this is where I sincerely pray that I am wrong). He cheated on his wife (others, too?). Loyalty and integrity do not matter to him. He makes personal attacks, e.g. “Little Marco Rubio”. Rubio was not even “my guy”. Personal attacks show a lack of intelligence.
He said openly that he has never had to ask for forgiveness, which would make him the Messiah. Humility matters.
I can properly asses the guy I thought was best. I can see through the phony stories and see his faults and his strengths. Can you do the same for Trump? Can you admit his faults? If you ask him, he has none.
And honestly, I do not want a consensus maker. I think that is how we got where we are. Trump will bend on anything if he thinks in the end that his side wins. He has no moral grounding. He has said as much.
Vote your conscience. I am voting for not-hillary.
