Soon as you use the term “fraud” I turn you off because of YOUR intolerance and close-mindedness

The irony here is hilarious. You open admit that you close your mind the moment someone uses a single word, without for one moment acknowledging the possibility... and then you call the opponent "intolerant". Are you sure that you're not a Liberal?

Hint: Trump is an opportunist, in the dictionary definition of the term. I'd bet that even he would accept that assessment. Opportunism means keeping your eye open for a good business deal, basically. Here, he sees the Battered Wife Syndrome that we Conservatives have, thanks to the GOP over the last 18 years, and he correctly surmises that he could ride that, along with the 'yuge' anti-establishment wave in both parties, into the most important chair on earth. That is too big to pass up... even if he isn't Conservative. By pretending to be, he can win eternal fame, and much more... but by pretending to be, that DOES qualify him for the title of "fraud". You can counter that he isn't faking, that he really and sincerely means what he says now, as opposed to 6 years ago... but that's purely conjecture, based on nothing but faith, because Trump has no actions to point to that can back up these current statements of Conservatism. It is not unfair to guess that he is lying any more than it is unfair to believe him... and yet you use it as an excuse to stop thinking altogether and not address his points. What does that say about you? Or Trump?

excellent summary. Trump supporters are taking a whole lot on faith, those of us who do not support him see nothing upon which to base such faith. no foundational principles. but vitriol flies if one deviates, and they wonder how the narrative became about hate.
