That's because arguing with you folks is like arguing with a 4yr old. Sure you can do it, but what's the point.
I point out a racist statement, you say, it's not racist, this is what he meant. I point out he advocates violence, you say, that it's just showing his frustration. I show he has almost no policies, and publically held the exact opposite belief he is spouting now, you say well he changed his mind. I could go on, but you get the point. You have nothing to back up your arguments, you just attempt to create meaning from the dribble that falls from his lips.
So there you go.

I'm not even going to get into how everything you said about Trump is untrue or not unique to him. But even if it were it still sounds like you just described every politician ever. The difference is liberal idiots like yourself dismiss and defend any policy change or questionable statement your candidate makes then hold everybody else to a different standard. And that's if the liberal MSM actually report any potential fault the liberal candidate has. For example, you never hear about how Clinton openly opposed gay marriage before but now is pro-gay marriage. Or if you do hear about it it's becayse she's being hailed as being so enlightened and responsible for changing her mind. Another example would be how Trudeau had literally no policies, ideas, or opinions of his own but the media praised that as making him "open minded" and not unprepared like they call Trump
What really bugs me about you cucks is the absolutely insane amount of hypocrisy you engage in. Your first comment is case in point. You all act like you're morally and intellectually superior to everybody who disagrees with you but if you pulled your head out of your ass for just a second you'd realize that you're the most immature, rude, and ignorant people out there.

Ok. Let's to do this then.
Show me another candidate that has ADVOCATED violence against other Americans. I'll wait .....
You stand all high and mighty, while earlier in your comment you said:
Talk about rampant hypocrisy....
