"B-b-b-but Clinton!"We all have biases. And some of us have some particular ideas about what our political opponents must believe. Some of these ideas are wrong. These mistaken impressions of our opponents lead to what are known as straw man arguments:
1. My opponents like to drink arsenic-laced Kool-Aid.
2. Here is a link proving arsenic is bad for you: Arsenic poisoning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3. I win!
But what if someone who had all kinds of silly ideas about the opposition suddenly decided to pretend to be one of them, and to run for office as one of them.
Imagine the hilarity of Ann Coulter running for office as a Democrat, trying to state her positions the way she imagines a liberal would answer them:
REPORTER: Ms. Coulter, what would you do about ISIS?
COULTER: I would arm them, of course! Because I hate America.
Now imagine a liberal who decides to pretend to be a conservative candidate.
You might see that person get a little confused at first, and then you would see them change their colors in real time:
REPORTER: Let me ask you about a few social issues because they haven't been issues you have been talking about for several years. I know you're opposed to abortion.
PRETENDER: Right. I'm pro-choice.
REPORTER: You're pro-choice or pro-life?
PRETENDER: I'm pro-life. I'm sorry.
Now, as any pro-lifer will tell you, they have NEVER accidentally identified themselves as pro-choice. Ever.
Now, imagine that same liberal-pretending-to-be-conservative is asked a very common question familiar to all pro-lifers:
REPORTER: Should the woman be punished for having an abortion?
PRETENDER: There has to be some form of punishment.
REPORTER: For the woman?
PRETENDER: Yeah. There has to be some form.
That answer is what a liberal believes a conservative believes.
Those exchanges above are actual. They are Trump.
When you realize what Trump is doing, his ridiculous answers to so many questions suddenly make so much sense.
Trump is a far left liberal pretending to be a Republican conservative, and his answers reflect how liberals think a conservative would answer those questions.
you're mistaken....Donald has no ideology except for Donald-ism
Hillary cares about no one but yourself , her family, and her political allies.. that's it....oh and getting rich off of selling out the country...those Clintons are obsessed with crony money
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-trump.....
