Why derail the conversation and start talking about Hillary Clinton’s relationship with some professor when the original topic was Donald Trump and his attacks on the legitimacy of the 2016 election?
You’re right, they’re not even in this conversation, because they’re wondering why it even matters at all.

Well, I'll set your mind-reading aside. > Why ... start talking about Hillary Clinton’s relationship with ... professor when the original topic was Donald Trump ... 2016 election? Because Hillary Clinton is in active denial, with a seeming corporate motive, about the election at least as much as you've accused Donald Trump of intending to be. Nobody in that race is clean of this particular accusation. I brought up the recent example of conduct related to that state of denial specifically because it demonstrates that if we're going to go down that road, nobody will emerge without mud on them.
