Peter - thanks for saying you have found my posts elucidating with respect to a phenomenon that I myself have trouble understanding. Now if only I could explain it to myself.

An honest appraisal of what

An honest appraisal of what it means to be an enabler of Clintonism, you can't pick and choose what part to support it is a package deal, is what i was referring to not individual honesty or dishonesty in comments. There have been some creative fables promoted here about HRC and others but those are usually just opinions or beliefs.

I wouldn't dare to second guess or comment on what people 'really' believe because beliefs are rarely based in logic or facts and sometimes come from very dark sources. Hal's long series of Sanders posts have exposed some of the darker and even sinister reasons some people choose to enable this type of leadership and i prefer to let people state their own beliefs before commenting on the fallacies or fables I observe.

Well, Trump thinks the President can direct the Supreme Court to investigate someone. He thinks the President can change libel laws to suit him. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't know the branches of government either. Or how long a Senate term is, or a House term...you know - just simple stuff that if you have been informing yourself by reading about how things work, you would know.

He lacks any intellectual curiosity because he hasn't needed it in his life as a bully. Honestly, when this is all over, I do believe that he will be in financial ruin. His brand is suffering all over the world, and he is losing hotel and condo business that was previously a steady flow of income. Once the Trump University fraud bills are paid, there will likely be criminal charges. Because fraud is not only civil; it is also criminal.

But his biggest example of ignorance is when he shouts something one day and the next day he says he never said that. I'm sure that in the Trump Boardroom that goes over just fine. But finally he decided to diss the press, and so finally, they are waking up and challenging one or two things that he lies about...not to his face yet, but it is coming, hopefully.

That 75% of those surveyed (below) didn't know who controlled House/Senate before the midterms of 2014, it's a sad reality and probably the 'norm' for voters (not being well informed)....anywhere.....parliamentary or whatever..

The same survey also showed most surveyed couldn't name the 3 branches of gov't.

In any case, trying to second-guess why people "really" believe something usually says more about what you believe than what they believe. It's not productive.

As if. That's just what you say you believe and that says what I believe about what you believe.

Good points.

Apology accepted. I think everyone here is honest about their arguments. Trolls don't survive long at dag. We all have unconscious biases, of course, but that doesn't make us dishonest.
