    And why should I care about your perceptions? What do they have to do with anything let alone the topic at hand?

    That was not republicans. It was a republican.

    That appears to be true. So what?

    As good a guess as any I suppose. So what?

    Well, thankfully, Kanye West is out of the race. What did Dems offer him to restrict the field to whites only?

    Terrific! To do that means a Constitutional Convention which would instantly bring in the Roe v Wade opponents and 2nd Amendment rights folks. Cut gun deaths in this country with mandated gun safety classes by competent authorities. Close the baby butchers forever.

    We can force positive voter ID. Bar-coded for instant cross-checking to ensure no multiple votes were cast. We can force states to clear out obviously wrong voter rolls, listing people who were born in the 1800s or something equally inane. Let's make our Constitution mean something and bring back honest elections.

    Of course, getting the states to sign on to a Convention is entirely up to each state. I don't see it happening in our lifetimes, especially over a courts-tested mechanism such as the Electoral College.

    The "system?" Are you saying less discrimination means our system of regulated capitalism will be destroyed?

    Sounds like an urban black whose only contacts with whites was with white Democrats. It would benefit more blacks to acquaint themselves with alternates.

    She took her campaign for granted in supposedly safe Michigan and never made a serious campaign effort there. The state party therefore did not object when the national party rewarded Obama for NOT being on the Michigan and Florida ballots, by splitting votes for Clinton (who WAS on those two ballots). The party gave Obama just enough votes to put him over the top, and popular Dem voters had nothing to do with it. The back room boys had spoken.

    Which party stayed silent when riots broke out in liberal strongholds? Why should former liberals EVER vote Democrat again after that callous indifference and massive property damage? Who's deplorable there?

    Please explain how you addressed the content of the metaphor by attacking your general impression of my skill at creating metaphors.

    The idea that Trump intended to inject people with bleach is due entirely to the false claim that the media has the ability to read Trump's mind. Trump did not say bleach. The media did.

    What sort of demonstration would satisfy you? Us? Whoever's interested? (Working on my pronouns, it's a chore these days.)

    A nifty-keen Photoshop image is about all they can manage....a McDonald's sign over Trump's head. Visuals for the slow-witted, don'tcha know.

    I'd be great if you could briefly explain why you think that is.
