Comparing apples and pineapples, I’d say.
Thanks Gogeo...
Well, in a word, no.
I wasn't comparing Trump to an entertainer. I was equating him to an entertainer.
So just in case there's some confusion between "comparing" with "equating," let's deal with your example of apples versus pineapples:
An apple never equals or "equates to" a pineapple. On that postulate we can agree completely.
But a comparison of apples to pineapples is entirely legit. So let's compare the two:
1. An apple has a smooth skin, whereas by comparison, a pineapple has a rough, prickly exterior.
2. Apples must be grown in temperate zones, whereas by comparison, pineapples must be grown in tropical or semi-tropical zones.
3. Apples are off-white in their interiors, whereas by comparison, pineapples are yellow inside.
4. Apples have low acidic content, whereas by comparison, pineapples have relatively high acid levels.
In summary, there's a big difference between "comparing" and "equating" various objects or concepts. You compare things based on their differences. You equate things based on their similarities.
Finally, to elaborate on my basic point, I'm not of the mind to "compare" Donald Trump to an entertainer. I think that he "equates" to an entertainer, and therefore I think it's instructive to analyze him as such.
I leave for a while and miss all kinds of good stuff.
The libs are enraged that Trump is going to win by stealing their low information voters, they thought they owned!!! “
L M A O !!
Even LIVs can’t deny common sense when it’s SHOWN to them. It’s just never been shown to them until now.
Nice to see you - I’m just poking my nose in for the fun of it. I could show the sky was blue and no one would take any notice.
I assume that if Trump wins, a lot of ... interesting things will happen.
I replied to you on the Tony Abbot thread, asking if the actual voters are okay with this? I hope he makes it back into power.
I will check in...

You get the joke!!!! If nominated Trump will pull in a wide spectrum of voters. This includes millions of low-information voters. I doubt Mitt Romney got many of their votes! And Trump will STEAL from the Democrats.
Hillary is not a candidate will pull in the low-infos the way Obama did
