Thanks for that reply. Just so you know, we are going to get smacked down any minute for hijacking this thread. So if you could kindly link me to the Trump thread, we could continue our discussion there.

Meanwhile, consider this. Rush sometimes has liberals on his show. When he does, he is careful to be polite, and he lays out clear, compelling facts and arguments in an effort to persuade.

Now if you took that approach on the Trump threads, you might actually end up dampening peoples’ enthusiasm for him. There are things about Trump that would scare the average conservative witless, if they knew them. If you, in lieu of insulting Trump supporters, drew attention to Trump’s most anti-conservative comments and positions, you’d make real progress. But you’d need to do it politely. And bear in mind that a question always puts people more at ease than an accusation. So for best results, try something like, ‘Did you know that Trump said the US needs Canadian style healthcare?’

You’d scare people cross-eyed, and perhaps even win some to your side.
