    Enthusiasm is fine. Fanaticism is a problem. Know the difference.

    Second worst has always been the winner throughout American history. Much the rest of the world too. Apart from that one time a Republican invented his own party to run on and won on his name recognition. Because the Republican party abandoned him. But hey if you got the stats to prove otherwise. We’d all like to see them.

    Name calling and casting baseless aspersions won’t make your points anymore reasonable or sound. Honestly it just makes people see you as a cringy obsessed weirdo. Which isn’t helping any of the people you and I both want to see helped.

      You may think that Trump was second worst to Clinton, but I don’t.

        Definitely unsurprising. Irrationality definitely doesn’t appear to be against your modus operandi when it comes to these topics.

          If second worst always wins and Trump beat Clinton, you’re saying that Trump was second worst to Clinton.

          As always with centrists, abuse is what you use in lieu of defensible positions.

            Oh I see you back to making strawman and calling names again? Is that really all you have. Just so you know that’s rhetorical question.

                  I already replied to you. You made the idiotic assertion that second worst always wins. I countered it by saying that Trump won in 2016 and wasn’t second worst.

                  Since you can’t take being called out on being so obviously wrong about this, you did the only thing any centrist ever does when they’re wrong: start slinging abuse.

                    Do you haven’t posted an actual serious reply to any response I make you in this whole chain. Not just that one. But it was obvious that that when you were not replying in good faith. Which is your modus operandi. All you can do is call me wine and split hair in order to find any technical out.
