[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 73583030, member: 313046"] Spare me. You have [url=https://www.christianforums.com/search/36055682/]all of about 40 posts in this subforum prior to Yesterday[/url], none of which were in the last 2 years. I point that out to demonstrate that you don't know me or what I do or do not watch. I'm perfectly capable of identifying how video that's been edited and then finding and watching the unedited coverage - and I do this frequently. In fact, that's one of my soapboxes. And guess what - it usually doesn't help Trump. You seem to not really have a handle on me at all. If you want to hear what a smart, lucid "non-politician" sounds like, listen to this interview with Andrew Yang: [URL="http://freakonomics.com/podcast/andrew-yang/"]Why Is This Man Running for President? (Ep. 362) - Freakonomics[/URL] Oh he cares; he cares a LOT. That's why so much of his persona is wrapped up in his image. That's why he's so hung up on people being loyal to him. But part of his schtick is that he doesn't care; he desperately wants to be seen as capable, but he isn't. He wants to be respected by the in-crowd, but isn't. So, he sort of revels in this kind of low-brow approach, because he's good at it and because it's the only thing he can pull off. So what's fake? His low-brow tastes and actions or his uber-luxurious branding?
