Ok, what about Trump? Its a question of character. You should be happy your president is a better man than a has been. You do seem to have trouble with extrapolation though. Do you know what thought experiments are?

It's possible we are. To clarify the reason I bring up thought experiments is because that's what it is. Imagine this situation, do you think the outcome would be the same if this variable was changed? What does that tell you about the current real situation?
His point in saying "imagine this" is to expose bias and therefore undermine their credibility.

my point is trump's "imagine if this were to happen to obama" isn't addressing anything. its a deflection.
i think we are talking about 2 different things. sorry for the confusion
