tompaine II -- You do a commendable job of calmly debunking the superficial bloviating of those who make themselves feel superior by depicting Hillary Clinton as some kind of monster that is no better -- or "worse" (how absurd) than Trump.

What I've noticed among so many Eugene _fauxgressives_ is complete dismissal of the substantial number of people who hold a range of "conservative" political views from arguably reasonable to "wacko." Maybe they can have their way in our little, isolated pocket, but to be elected president and serve effectively with some balance, a person must weigh and synthesize many diverse factors.

One of the best examples is my friend Peter DeFazio -- he's a stellar congressman, but (IMO) he hasn't fought for a rational gun control. I cringe, but if he did, he'd be voted out in a heartbeat. So, should we consider him as bad or worse than Art Robinson? Only a fool would.

Thanks tompaine II.
