A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Cry Maye he would laugh until he cried if he read this. One of Sarah Palin's fans said this: "Well good be mad at me if I ask there be no antibiotic for this strain of pnamonia? Ok fine. God please heal her so she can keep killing us off." This word salad master didn't fall far from the Palin tree. Are the first two words supposed to be "Will God"? And what the heck is "pnamonia"? This brainiak probably asked somebody how to spell pneumonia and could only pay attention long enough to hear the first two letters. And if Hillary is killing "us" off, how could she have missed this dodo bird?

I think we all need to share our medical conditions so that everyone knows we are fit to post here...

i like Ike .... or maybe I mean, I like Trump Jr's excuse .... posting tax returns would be a distraction
I suppose one could extend the argument to any and all information, thus every candidate could say, ain't responding to that as it may be a distraction

America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

Indeed, he said (on FOX), "We have to keep the suspense going, OK?" This is a pattern: His campaign says the right things, but Trump doesn't. That way he can stay "pure" for the deplorables, and his surrogates can peddle soap to the gullible. I'm waiting for some intrepid journalist to point this out on air.

It's becoming a theme: TIME: Donald Trump’s Campaign Says He’s No Longer a Birther. But Trump Won’t Say It; CNN:Trump campaign, but not Trump, says Obama was born in the US. Remember, Trump was peddling this garbage this year, so it's not "old news." 9. "A lot of people do not think it was an authentic certificate. ... Many people do not think it was authentic. His mother was not in the hospital. There are many other things that came out. And frankly if you would report it accurately I think you'd probably get better ratings than you're getting."
- May 29, 2012, to CNN's Wolf Blitzer
10 "Was it a birth certificate? You tell me. Some people say that was not his birth certificate. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I'm saying I don't know. Nobody knows."
- August 2013, to ABC News
11. "Who knows about Obama? ... Who knows, who knows? Who cares right now?... I have my own theory on Obama. Someday I will write a book, I will do another book, and it will do very successfully."
- January 6, 2016, in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

I know why Trump is so popular among a certain segment of the population - he lets their consciences off the hook about never exercising.
Turns out that standing up and yelling angry nonsensical stuff in front of crowds of morons is very, very healthy - it's a form of hugely beneficial exercise - and those rallies are like a sauna in there - very immensely excellent for the health.
And "Dr." Oz let that go without so much as a raised eyebrow...
