INUENDO???
Yes, innuendo. If Hillary had a serial killer campaigning for her, it would be wrong to imply she was also a serial killer, right? Maybe terrible judgement, but that’s a direct problem. Innuendo as Ted seems to be using it here is simple- minded guilt by association. It’s a bad form of argument because it doesn’t deal with the real problem, the flaws in the policy and character of the candidate. This sort of thing just drives it home again that Ted is living out his Christian faith, and that should play well with the vast new evangelical coalition he is hoping to build. It makes sense.
Peace,
