  Karen Kolbinsky unbelievable.. you are in total denial.. if you have been watching the Dems debate and believe they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a presidential election you really haven't a clue what's going on in reality and truth.. Trump's last rally had thousands waiting outside to get in while every Democrat running couldn't fill an auditorium.

    Alan Archibald The fact that thousands were outside waiting at Trump's recent rally is statistically meaningless.
    
    I don't want to get lost in the weeds so I'll oversimplify: your argument can be likened to an over-subscribed World Series game which despite tens of thousands of people shut out in the streets, still has no relevance whatsoever to Babe Ruth being elected president. 
    
    It's just a dazzling display by super-charged Trumpistas who prefer "Reality TV" to Reality.
    
    Of course people like a show and those thousands of idolaters who did show up at Trump's rally belong to a subset of Trump crazies who number about 40% of the population.
    
    Hell, even Hillary got 4.56% more popular votes than pussy grabber.
    
    And yes, Trump had a cumulative margin of victory of 80,000 votes spread over the three crucial states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin - enough to put him over the top in The Electoral College.
    
    But what are we to make of Trump's assurance just a week before the election that it "was absolutely being rigged?"
    
    You would be outraged if I said I believe him.
    
    I mean WTF!?!
    
    And what are we to make of Deranged Donald's views on The Electoral College itself?

    Lest we forget, I must mention that the day before the 2016 election, America's premier statistician, Nate Silver, put the chances of a Trump victory at one in five.
    
    So don't play loose with truth as you routinely do by asserting -- with no regard for the statistical truths with will prevail in the next election that
    "you are in total denial.. if you have been watching the Dems debate and believe they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning a presidential election you really haven't a clue what's going on in reality and truth."
    
    Truth be told, the tide has already turned against Trump in Pennsylvania and Michigan, and currently Trump is trailing Biden by 10 (ten) percentage points in Ohio.
    
    By the time Trump's looney tunes trade war precipitates the next recession-- bound to be a doozy -- even you will have nagging doubts about Mafia Don's suitability as a presidential leader even though your unshakeable conviction that The Malignant Messiah is heaven-sent will never let you out of your box.
    
    You're much too heavily invested in His Despicability to become an apostate. 
    
    I have no trouble saying "let the chips fall where they may."
    
    It's no skin off my nose to say that if Bill Clinton is found guilty in The Epstein Scandal, then "throw him in the (metaphorical) wood chipper."
    
    You, on the other hand, are unable to move Trump out of the Divine Penumbra in which you believe he's ensconced.
    
    In fact -- and this is a surpassing irony that afflicts most/all "Christian" "conservatives -- you are trapped by by what you believe to be true.
    
    Your faith that things are true exerts stronger attraction on you than Truth itself. 
    
    I suspect you cannot entertain the possibility of a "truth trap" as even a remote possibility.
    
    You're like this guy: http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../what-good-guys...
    
    In effect, you have -- as if you had made yourself co-terminous with God -- established your faith as the only touchstone for truth.
    
    And so, if you believe it, you are, ipso facto, ABSOLUTELY convinced it's true.
    
    You have, by a bizarre "twist" on self-apotheosis made yourself God's infallible spokeswoman.
    
    And yet, try as you may to bend the truth to your will, faith remains (by its nature) "faith" - not provable truth. 
    
    According to Carl Sagan's penetrating observation, you have been bamboozled. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../the-science...
