Laura Bush: Separating children from their parents at the border breaks my heart

111. You got any numbers proving she is the most influential?

Because your very question demands there is none with more influence, so you must have the numbers backing that statement up.

You don't, of course.

But you want to pull a fallacy of logic.

It's called argument from ignorance/negative proof - whereas you claim if I can't provide evidence of some republican more influential than Laura Bush, that somehow proves she has the most influence. And it doesn't. That your statement is a fact unless I can provide proof otherwise - and it doesn't work that way. Not logically, anyway.

But you'll need to prove all republican women are less influential with other republicans than Laura Bush to prove your statement - and you haven't.

Simply because she was once first lady isn't proof.
Simply because her last name is Bush isn't proof.
Simply because she spoke out isn't proof.
Simply because other people agree with you isn't proof either. A popular opinion isn't the same as proof - or fact.

You're attempting to shift the burden of proof for your assertion onto me.

In a nutshell, you're saying prove she isn't - when you have no proof she is.



I explained why I don't think she is as influential as some seem* to think. That is my opinion and that opinion is based on how Trump and his followers behave - as if he is their god and what he says goes. On how Trump attacked JEB and his disregard for the rest of the Bush family.
