or anywhere on Du have I expressed love for Clinton. I respect her and all she has done. I have actually voiced my choice for someone else repeatedly here on DU but never-mind that. If I question your use, or rather non use of logic on a argument of course you have to fall back on personally attacking me, what else do you have? You cant say you were wrong even when you attribute a position I have never taken to me and I ask that you show where I did so. Its flat out dishonest and disgusting. I dont support Clinton for president over Sanders, but I also don't support false logic and ad hominem attacks. You chose to think since I question your ad hominem and false logic against her to mean I support her. You were wrong on my reasoning just like you could be wrong on hers. Your opinion on why I questioned your logic is just as valid as your opinion on why she has not asked for more debates, in other words not based on any facts at all. I may support Sanders, but even more I support valid arguments and you have not lived up to that expectation at all.

No, she's not,. it's just a good cop bad cop routine jfern Oct 2015 #145

Possibly Eko Oct 2015 #155

I think every other candidate said they'd be willing to go to any debate Hillary is at jfern Oct 2015 #157

By the same token Eko Oct 2015 #158

Not many will watch a debate without Clinton, and she doesn't actually want any more jfern Oct 2015 #159

So they are serious about Eko Oct 2015 #160

Whatever, it's obvious that Hillary doesn't want more than 6 debates jfern Oct 2015 #161

Yes, Eko Oct 2015 #162

She could actually ask the DNC for more debates like every other campaign did jfern Oct 2015 #163

So you are saying Eko Oct 2015 #172

Come on, it's clear Hillary doesn't want more than 6 debates jfern Oct 2015 #173

I will assume Eko Oct 2015 #174

Your argument reminds me of when people say Eko Oct 2015 #175

Come on, we weren't born yesterday jfern Oct 2015 #176

Yes, we werent born yesterday. Eko Oct 2015 #177
