Um, one is largely borne out with facts, the other is a guy saying he could shoot someone and his supporters are such sheep that they wouldn't change their mind.

Come on.

Really? Ok, answer me this: is there any circumstance that would make you (or any other Clinton backer, for that matter) begin to question the former Secretary? No, really, is it the case that Clinton could have said the exact same thing that Trump did?

This is a serious case of false-equivalence.

If Clinton said something even vaguely similar to Trump she'd be hounded out of the race, I'd be in the front of the line telling her to get out. You've got to realise that people supporting Clinton have actually come to this conclusion as rational and sensible adults. As in, not everyone who supports Hillary is a harping fan boy incapable of self-reflection... just because you don't like it or understand it isn't really the point. I can't see myself supporting Sanders for the nomination, but at least I understand why others do, even if I disagree with the conclusions.

Jesus.
