- eropple 10y ago"The Republican candidate" is, as regrettable as that is, correct. Question of fact, not of norms. Normalizing as "the conservative candidate" would get my dander up, because he's not. If you were to then suggest that Republicans are not conservative--well, duh. ;)
- darpa_escapee 10y agoWhat's wrong with this? He ran and was endorsed on the GOP ticket.
- CalChris 10y agoYou should ask yourself the Falsifiability question: What could possibly be wrong with this if he ran and was endorsed on the GOP ticket? Does the mere act of running on the GOP ticket absolve Trump of everything and anything? That appears to be the case for his supporters. Less so for the rest of us and when I refuse to accept Trump as normal, that is what I'm saying.
- eropple 10y agoYou don't make headway by crowing that the other guy's "not normal". He was elected because he's "not normal." You win by demonstrating that he is bad for the people who elected him. Wasting time and effort with "oh, not normal" doesn't help your (our) cause.
- CalChris 10y agoDude, we're saying the same thing only differently aka violent agreement.
