2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I am not a Hillary supporter, but I need to defend her. She did not lie about Trump. [View all]
There are certain things that we all know to to be true.
We all know that Donald Trump is on the television a lot.
We all know that when Donald Trump is on the television he says some really nasty things about Muslims.
We know that the nasty things Trump says about Muslims get broadcast all over the world including the Middle East.
These things are all facts that are easily proven. There are other facts that may not be quite as easy to prove, but should be obvious to everyone.
We may not be able to prove that Muslims in the Middle East get pissed off when they turn on the television and hear Donald Trump saying these nasty things about them, but I think any reasonable person would agree that it is certain that some of them do get pissed off.
I think that any reasonable person would also agree that a pissed off Islamic Fundamentalist is far more likely to join ISIS than a Muslim that had nothing to be upset about.
Hillary may not be able to provide physical proof of her claim, but the claim she made is such an obvious statement that I don't even understand how anyone could doubt it.
I am a strong Bernie supporter, but I don't have to be a Hillary fan to see that the media is distracting us with a gotcha game instead of focusing on the real issues.
