It isn't necessary to express "delight" about working with the Minotaur. pnwmom Jan 2017 #37

he didn't. he said IF, and that really was the important caveat you are intentionally missing. nt JCanete Jan 2017 #61

The "if" implies that it's possible DT will change -- and it normalizes him. pnwmom Jan 2017 #62

no. you infer that. It does not imply that. Again, from the mouth of a person who calls Trump a JCanete Jan 2017 #63

I said that the "if" implies that it is possible -- not probable. pnwmom Jan 2017 #74

Isn't it stated very clearly here to not bash Democrats or allies? Sanders being specifically named? JCanete Jan 2017 #118

Oh, was she talking about Sanders specifically? He was not named in the OP.... Hekate Jan 2017 #129
