    And you don’t think it’s worth considering different interpretations of what trump says for them? What defaults them to automatically believing only the most damning interpretation? It seems like anyone who does so is probably a left leaning undecided, there are conservative undecided voters out there.

      Because he’s literally said similar things OUT LOUD multiple times before. Installing himself as a dictator, arresting political adversaries, publicly executing people he doesn’t like, arresting judges and jurors who he doesn’t find favorable…

      It’s very fucking clear what he said. There is no “BUT WHAT HE REALLY MEANT WAS…” talking point to spin this. Hitler and Mussolini used almost verbatim language. Don’t be a dope.

        You misunderstand, there’s no ambiguity on my part, but instead understanding that there are those on the fence who may interpret it differently, and acknowledging that to know how best to respond.

        For example, if it was brought up that what he really meant was that it’d be his second term, then the response would be “why wouldn’t he want you to vote after his second term?”
