    I’m not sure what else “the more headlines he gets, the more votes he gets” is supposed to mean other than Trump will win again because of this.

      That’s concerning. It means you are so biased against the conversation you can’t see a simple difference of opinion as anything but a total counterpoint to your position.

      More votes. That’s it. Maybe one more, maybe a few thousand. Not winning, not running away with anything. Just a few more votes.

        Or, you know, I did not know what else that meant.

        Why do people always think that I’m lying about what I say when I say it?

          It’s basic comprehension and reasoning. No one’s said anything about lying either. Maybe just kind of take a little break, come back and reread. I misread shit all the time.

            Okay? That’s exactly why I said I didn’t know what else it meant.

            So yeah, you are suggesting I’m lying when you say that this is some sort of not being able to see a difference of opinion as anything but a total counterpoint to my position since, according to you, my position was incorrect, so we weren’t even discussing the same thing.

            Much like my posts aren’t lies, they also are not universal truths.

          Probably because of the weird, combative, absolutist way you frame so many of your comments?
