I don't get why people are so quick to point out the "crazies" who support a particular candidate. I guess because it influences some people. But not me.
I'm not going to change my vote just because some asshole shows up with a kkk hood on his head. Nor will I change my vote because an old man punched out a protestor. Nor will my vote be influenced by any of the antics of either side. Oh, there are a bunch of racists at Trump rallies? Well, ok, so racism is still a huge problem which needs to be addressed. Trump uses language that exacerbates the problem. So, THAT might be reason enough to not vote for him. It's the candidates' words, actions and policies that we should be paying attention to. Not the actions of protestors.
These nutty folks are just outliers, and they have absolutely nothing to do with how the country will be run, or what ideas will become policy or law. They're just stunts.

- Yeah, I suppose it works. But, if you share something & say, "Look at THIS person/group who supports this candidate!", it really makes you look simple-minded.nb
- yup. it is quite a problem.deathboy
- Complains about people calling each other crazy then calls those same people nutty... :/Hayoth
- Huh? I did not complain about people calling each other crazy. I'm saying that using these crazies as an argument against a candidate is stupid.nb
