Don’t ad hominen attach that is the MO of the left Abusive ad hominem usually involves attacking the traits of an opponent as a means to invalidate their argument(s). Equating someone’s character with the soundness of their argument is a logical fallacy.

Ad hominem abuse is not to be confused with slander or libel, which employ falsehoods and are not necessarily leveled to undermine otherwise sound stands with character attacks.

Have you looked up the definition of “ad hominen”?

(hint: ad hominem)

My post was nothing of the kind.

Scrounging for delegates is the name of the game and every candidate, including Trump is doing it.

You’re the one trying to make it sound like a crime.
