What the author nails is that if you try to raise Trump's substantive positions on issues like entitlements, health care, or subsidies, or to point out his own "yuge" flip-flip on immigration, you generally get nothing other than insults in return. Few of his supporters seem willing to engage on those issues at all.

There isn't a perfect alternative to Trump, but it has gotten to the pint where you can't have even a remotely civil discussion. It's just zealotry at this point.

Trump does not want to raise taxes on the ‘entitlements’ as they call them.

The ‘entitlements’ they are talking about are Social Security and Medicare.

Why have a civil conversation. The attacks on Trump are things like: He’s a Nazi. He’s Adolf Hitler. He’s a tyrant. He’s dumb. He does not know anything about government.

Donald Trump has been in the public eye for more than 30 years. We know Trump and he is not any of these things. People who want to have a conversation which starts out with; He’s dumb, or He’s evil, are not interested in winning the argument. They are just happy to have the argument. Because some people will not listen to the argument they will just take sides.

I actually think Hillary is evil. I think that the NY Times was right back in the 90’s when they called her a congenital liar. She makes her money off the understanding that she can change policy. And she is vicious when it comes to people who threaten her political fortunes.

I actually think many of the democrats agree. Thats why she, as a front runner can never close the deal. A large group of democrats are afraid of her being president. As one of the centuries most corrupt politicians, who can control her when she really does get power.

In the past two presidential elections the electorate chose someone who they did not know. And who had very little practical training for the job. This time we have two people we know pretty well. It’s all out there for us to see. I am happy to finely get real candidates instead of suits who just read teleprompters of other peoples thoughts.
