Yes, I understand that you are driven very much by your feelings.

It's the profound lack of interest in facts that is the problem.

And honestly, the protestations against Clinton are largely based upon hysteria. I'm not her biggest fan, but she is obviously intelligent, capable of leading a staff and a competent administrator. She's not exactly a charismatic figure and her public speaking voice is a bit painful, but elections are not supposed to be beauty contests.
When compared to Trump she is Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite.

"Abbreviated language" = ignoring historical facts that don't fit your narrative.

Ignoring the facts isn't enough. Facts have to be invented.

But if the half-truths and lies feel right, then that's all that matters.

I understand the rules of succession. Neither Trump nor Clinton are the president or vice president.

SO you are saying the polls are incorrect that a majority feel that she is untrustworthy ? If that isn't a fact please explain why. I have no problem learning and many of the posts on this thread have been quite informative.

I do not believe either Clinton or Trump are good candidates for president. Neither do I believe extreme partisanship from either side does much to advance understanding.

You folks seem to be quite happy to hold opinions that aren't based upon anything.

You don't trust Clinton because you don't like her. You don't like Clinton because you don't trust her. The "logic" is completely circular and based upon nothing.

Yet it doesn't bother you to hold ideas that are based upon nothing. If you feel it and you keep repeating it, then it makes no difference whether it's true. It's all about your feelings.

There is a ton load of facts out there, I guess there are none so blind that can not see.

I realize that you tend to acquire your knowledge of the world from gif files, but you and facts don't seem to be on speaking terms.

Which "facts" do you base your mistrust of her on?

It's "will". None so blind as those that will not see. Sorry, I don't like grammar Nazis but seriously, dude. It completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

I pointed out a fact of the polls and you avoid addressing whether it was a fact or not.

You folks ? I believe neither of the two candidates should be President.
