89. Again. Here's your quote:

Fri Sep 23, 2016, 11:58 AM

Sep 2016

"One candidate's whole campaign is based on how terrible the other candidate is."

That is what you said. That's what I commented on. Remember? I've quoted it twice now.

So your own quote negates all your efforts to get around this and make it about me. LOL, this looks like such a familiar tactic, though.

And the "pushback' is just as pathetic as when it was done in the primaries. "Pushback" only means that your distorted view of reality is forced on people. Same as the name calling like "neoliberals". LOL, it didn't work then, and it's not working now. Manipulating and bullying people is just "revealing and fucking pathetic."

So go read your quote again. Then you can take my quote in context of what you, yourself, said. She has had nonstop attacks for over a year by both opponents. That is done to lower poll numbers (popularity). Remember?
