(9,527 posts)When did you stop beating your wife? you might get an answer. But instead you use it as an accusatory club and oddly people don't like that.
Perhaps this will help:
Why do you support a candidate that is proposing a vastly underfunded health care plan? Why do you support a candidate who's wife nearly drove a university into bankruptcy with legally questionable accounting and took a golden parachute? Why do you support a candidate who expects the votes of people he has called ideologically bankrupt?
You'd no doubt find that question insulting. That's the thing about being a jerk. It doesn't prompt people to respond to you nicely. It prompts them to be a jerk back. But that would require enough self-reflection to realize that you reap what you sow.
