Yeah...I figured you did....that would be why I made the reply. This is one of the reasons placing words into the mouths of others often derails discussion and is usually avoided. More appropriate and useful is to quote the actual words typed and begin debate by asking for clarification or commenting on what was said instead of what your mind makes of it.

In my opinion anyone with a thinking mind and some level of appreciation for what this country is and stands for will do the same.

But...but...I've directly quoted you multiple times now and still have no clarification.

Look it's OK if you think people that would vote for Trump are stupid and un-American. I'm not going to judge you.

Please note the first three words and the complete lack of calling anyone....ANYTHING. As is the usual practice in an internet forum setting, individuals express their opinions on an issue and discussion takes place. However, when the expressed opinion is manipulated to mean things not expressed said discussion is derailed by defense of that manipulation.

To clarify...this is what was meant by what I typed:

I hope others understand the problems Trump will probably bring and the damage he will do to our country, which will sway their vote.
