Oh please, enough with that ruse. The man is a liberal, he supports liberal ideals and candidates, he even supports single-payer socialist healthcare like they have in Canada. Apply any definition of the word "liberal" you feel aids your weak defense of your liberal candidate but he will remain a liberal in the truest sense of the word.

In the end, you are, in this conservative forum, defending a liberal candidate and his liberal ideals, many which are shared with the worst in the democRAT party such as Pelosi and Reid.

Apply any definition of the word "liberal" you feel aids your weak defense of your liberal candidate but he will remain a liberal in the truest sense of the word.

My point is: What is the "truest" sense of that word?

Truth is not some kind of smorgasbord from which one is free to sample as one chooses, to pick out the stuff one likes, and reject all the rest.

I note you continue to use the present tense WRT The Donald, based on stuff he has said in the past — as if he was ineluctably bound by statements made years ago.

I gather that you, like many people, are frustrated that they can't put The Donald into some kind of convenient box. What such folks end up doing is coming up with explanations that satisfy them. But this wouldn't be the first time that I have encountered anti-Trump arguments that, in the final analysis, tell me more about them, the people making the argument, than they tell me about The Donald.

But clearly, your mind is thoroughly made up, and is hermetically sealed against other views and perspectives that, as systematic analyses, are worthy of respect.

You appear utterly immune from any kind of persuasion that doesn't fall into line with your already thoroughly determined notions.

In a situation like this, there's really nothing for us to talk about.

But thank you so much for sharing your views all the same.

Are you finding this as funny as I am?

Now it isn’t enough to peg someone as a liberal on FR. You have to specify what kind, LOL.
