I should add that video is nearly an hour and 15 minutes long. I mean...come on.


Not for low-attention spans, with little interest in how the process works. You are right.

I found it fascinating, and it seemed to zip right by. But I can follow a long argument, one that doesnt fit on a bumper sticker.

Sorry for you.

It is not a question of following the argument. That's easy.

It's a question of being able to discuss it intelligently afterwards without having to listen repeatedly to make a transcript as you go along.

Look at the discussion thread for yourself. It's basically no analysis at all, just a bunch of comments saying "that guy is right" from people who already supported Trump.

Frankly, I think it is intellectually lazy on the part of the guy who made the video not to put his analysis into writing.

I managed to find an index, though not a transcript, of what he said. Here it is:

Talk about a bunch of red herrings. The stuff that I care about as a conservative just wasn't addressed. At all. There was absolutely nothing about:

1) his opposition to restructuring Medicare or Social Security, which a Republican President must address;

2) his promise to have the government guarantee health insurance for all Americans;

3) his statements in the 2012 race opposing self-deportation as "cruel", and otherwise criticizing as harsh Republican proposals to send immigrants back over the border; (and I did watch the immigration portion just to be sure)

4) why he supports continuation of farm subsidies, and is using that as a wedge issue on the campaign;

5) why he said Obama was doing a very good job and that people were unfairly holding him to too high a standard

Etc. etc. etc. The video picks off the low-hanging fruit of cheap MSM attacks, but doesn't address at all the very real concerns many of us have about his substantive proposals. But since that video is all about the "Untruths", I can only assume that means that all the other stuff is true.

Just out of curiousity, I also watched the segment about the bankruptcy "Untruth". But that turned out to actually be true -- Trump had four separate businesses that declared bankruptcy. Whether he "took advantage of the laws at the time" -- which funny enough is the same excuse used by many of the Wall Street people who profited from the housing market -- isn't the point for me, or I think for most people.

For me, the relevance of the point is that those declarations of bankruptcy -- which had the effect of protecting part of Trump's assets -- resulted in a great many subcontractors not getting paid, which put a lot of those small businessmen completely out of business. For a guy who prides himself on standing up for the little guy, that stinks.
