>>Ha know...he’s being obviously hyperbolic, but not by much.

He understands what works in modern American politics better than any GOP presidential candidate in 30 years. The Dems use hyperbolic speech constantly and it sticks to our guy. It works especially well on those “independents”. This is why Dilbert creator Scott Adams has been blogging for months on Trump’s skills as a Master Persuader.

Out job is not to point out that he is being hyperbolic. Our job is press the issue and act like he is NOT being hyperbolic and we know that what he is saying is absolute truth whenever we encounter a Progressive acquaintance.

That’s how they beat us. They force us to stipulate that our rhetoric is over-the-top and then they claim that theirs is based on pure truth (not facts, but truth—for Progressives, there is a difference).

Hillary isn't exaggerating when she says she will put Bill in her cabinet.....can the Democrat Party really suffer through another two'fer presidency? I recall that everything Hillary tried to do during her husband's presidency and since was a disaster...

*BILL & HILLARY CLINTON

*Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy — he was nice mainly because he wanted everyone to like him, but to him life is just one big game and party. Everyone knows of his sexuality.*

*She is another phony. Her personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. She was another one who felt people were there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton.* from Ronald Kessler’s book about our presidents

I wasn’t criticizing the line being hyperbolic. Hyperbole to illustrate a point is a useful part of speech.

My comment was that the ACTUAL actions in foreign policy were themselves so ludicrous that they nearly match the comment.
