I agree… Kind of scary too considering the "super power" status, not meaning to be political or anything [emoji849]

U.S.Politics:
Always keep in mind…you have to be registered to vote, and in most states registered w/a party to vote in the primary.
About 62% of adults 18+ are registered--some think many less because of all the people completely out of the system. Of those about 25-30% are registered as Independents, and only between 17% and 35% vote in primaries.
So in a low turnout primary election you might only have 20% of 46% or 10 percent of adults voting, or 4% voting for the R and 6% of adults voting for the D (since in most places registered D's outnumber registered R's).So the rhetoric...is aimed at those folks, many of whom have decided well ahead of time on the real issues or policy preferences or personal issues etc no matter their candidate says, and they understand that the real target is a fragment of those people left undecided, dumb enough not to know what to think about anything, and so the stuff you hear is aimed at them for the most part: certainly the TV spots. The debate junk used to be aimed only at press, since before the R-Trump-Debate Broadcast Industry came into being three months ago, no one watched them, and it only mattered what the press reported.

@TrickHell I've said numerous times I think you are a smart person & admire your work ethic & drive.
reading back I tried to get to what prompted your post & I can't see it.
That's all I got

One of his @TrickHell points is that it matters who votes. When the large percentage of the vote is people over 65 or a small percent is people 18-25, and an even smaller percent is people 25-34….the people pander to the priorities of the voters rather than being accountable to the good of the whole.

^ this sounds like such a painful experience….. Don't get me wrong, I would say the exact same thing regardless of which candidate the tickets were for.

Oh, l do go further than that, to me it seems an extreme act of masochism to attend a campaign event of that raving maniac. I take it from the intro that you have no intention to vote for the buffoon @elclintor, but please tell me you didn't pay any money to obtain tickets for this sham?
-
Tickets were free. Part of me wants to see how easy it would be to get kicked out. The other part of me is genuinely curious about the people that support this wacko, and it seems like a good event to observe the worst of human society.
Please don't think for a moment that I would support this turd.
