That is true.

There are so many layers to being right and what right means to different people. The proof of the pudding is in the eating since our policy makers and evaluators are frankly abyssal at their jobs.

I was responding to the fact that you wrote a comment in response to someone’s assertion that Trump has millions more votes. Your comment dismissed his assertion.

Perhaps you meant that the millions more didn’t matter because the number of votes has no relationship to the soundness of the policies in your opinion.

I suggest that if that is what your two word response meant that it is emblematic of an elitist point of view. If two million more people think Trump is the better man for the job there might just be something to the notion.

Correct. That is what the term “bandwagon fallacy” means.

To the point at hand: Trump's claim that he can eliminate a $19 trillion debt in eight years is not superficially plausible, in my opinion.

However, if you can explain how Trump can make such a lift, I will listen with an open mind.
