    Just as funny as how draft dodging wasn't an issue when Bill Clinton was president but now it is.

    See how that works?

    And Clinton was a legit draft dodger. He lied to the ROTC to get a deferment after LBJ ended student deferments.

    There is no evidence that Trump engaged in any kind of fraud to be classified 4F. There is no question that Clinton defrauded the government to get his ROTC deferment in 69.

    Why does the right keep dragging up issues that died years ago

    But do not seem to remember something that happened last week?

    That's about all they care about. Wikileaks. Never once did I hear any denials that Clinton was as corrupt as they come, along with the entire DNC. Personally, I don't know why the whole party isn't investigated for corruption.

    ok, But have you ever been falsely accused of something? I hate it, which is why I try my best to always have proof before I level any accusations.

    Why does the left feel like their blatant hypocrisy has an expiration date?

    The socialists on the left would rather not discuss that.

    I have a son who planned on enlisting his entire life. He was turned down by the US Marine Corps because he had brain surgery when he was 2 years old. He was 17 when the turned him down. He is 23 and it is still a sore subject with him. He played HS football and was in BJJ for years. Never had a problem, but the Marines would not take him.

    Its an important part of their strategy. They must counter with a whatabout and that requires reaching back in the past. if they focus on the "others" there's no time for those others' to focus on what is really happening now. yet another exploitation of basic human nature.

    it also serves a secondary but equally effective goal of stirring up old resentments and divisions while reinforcing their tribal KNOWNs.

    Offensive defense and emotional reinforcement two birds one stone.

    It works so effectively precisely because the people executing the tactic need not be aware of it, it just has to be a pavlovian kneejerk reaction to any emotionally uncomfortable comments or situations.

    this doesn't just apply to trumpettes. It applies across the political and social spectrum of groupthink.

    There's a huge volume of work on the subject across multiple disciplines. Its not at all a secret just another example of the breadth and depth of specific domain knowledge that non professionals/academics are oblivious too.

    Same with me. Played all 4 years with that bad shoulder, judo, jujitsu, boxing, 500+lb bench 315 OH press etc.

    All the military cares about is that I don't have full range of motion in that shoulder.

    You say gullible, yet Trump is doing, or in the process of doing everything he promised those voters in the campaign.

    gullible - easily persuaded to believe something

    It's more accurate to call the anti-Trumpers the gullible ones if that's the word you wanna throw around, y'all believe any and every thing the media tells you. No need to second guess or think twice.

    Bill Clinton not only dodged the draft, he traveled to Moscow during the Vietnam war to collude with the Russians.

    Got a bit triggered, eh?

    Don't get too twisted. It was just a logical extension of your illogical comment.

    the Vietnam war was over when Obama was of age

    Clinton opposed the war


    right wing hero Trump loved the war so long as he didn't have to fight in it

    No, I have a pretty long list of contributory factors both positive AND negative which informs my opinion of why they have lost so many in the last few years.

    It was a deliberate plan and the people behind the RNC were WAY smarter than those do gooders behind the DNC, And an investment of a few hundred millions directly into state level infrastructure resulted in breathtaking sweep in many states, then the serious work began. Including executing a variety of voter suppression strategies in the name of fighting the phantom threat of voter fraud, while advancing others under the guise of various economic and civic causes. Then throw in a comprehensive and coordinated plan of gerrymandering from the subtle to the truly outrageous. Then of course on top of that Democrats have had a fundamental and chronic disadvantage in "messaging" since Clinton at least. They just ain't nearly as good at it. That about cover it for ya?

    BTW, There's a long list of why that ain't gonna be sustainable,but wasn't the subject was it.
