It’s jaw dropping isn’t it?
In Sept. 2016 it will be 4 years since Benghazi. Hillary will be in the clear as it will be old news.
You can’t reason a person out of a position that they didn’t reason themselves into. A great many Americans seem to pick their candidates not by weighing the pros & cons, looking into past statements, voting & legislation history etc. They choose someone emotionally. Someone who says all the right things and can persuade them to trust them. In other words, if you are a great manipulator and know how to get people to believe you, you can sway a large number of people to support you. A smooth talker. Sort of like a used car salesman:)
This becomes almost like a cult to these people. To accept facts would make them have to change their beliefs. It is very hard to get people to do that when they have invested themselves into someone emotionally. They don’t think clearly and they only get mad at you when you point these things out to them. They will never change their minds.
Barack Obama was very good at doing this and still people will defend him to the end and refuse to believe one bad thing about him. They have too much of themselves invested in him.
Good point to discuss. Rats are more likely to be emotional thinkers than Reoublicans historically. I’m not sure how this breaks down by age. For a conservative to win big in the general election they must be good at attracting both kinds of voters. Reagan did this. The media play a large role in keeping nonRats from achieving an emotional resonance with the emotional thinkers.
