    You mean smears like trump does on a daily basis? Your hyperbole has been noted though. You need to deal with more facts and less hyperbole and when someone asks you to back up your assertion then put forth the appropriate material to support yourself. Otherwise your posts are mostly just vapor.

    I was talking about the media smearing certain Democratic presidential candidates. That’s what I was talking about, because that’s what the discussion was about.

    Was it a crime that I didn’t arbitrarily bring up Trump in a discussion about something else? Sorry I’ll try harder next time.

    By claiming media smears were a good thing because they bolster candidates campaigns when you actually believe the opposite. Clearly you were playing devils advocate in regards to what I said, but nonetheless, not being steadfast with your position doesn’t serve to clarify what you’re trying to say.

    I asked him 2-3 days ago to back up an assertion he made about another topic...he said that "he didn't have to".

    Yep, been down that road a few times myself and he refuses to back up his claims. Hard to give anything he says much credence.

    Sorry you were confused :)
    I was discussing your position, not endorsing it myself.

    context matters. 7 and rising from an unknown a few months ago is worth celebrating.

    The precedent has been set. This is brought to you by the "they are not real democrats so it is ok" crowd.

    Yang is up from 2.8% four months ago all the way to 3.2% today. If his 3% support had been shown in a few MSNBC graphics, I'm sure he'd be at 30% today. The same goes for all the other candidates who were in the low single digits.

    Not sure of your point. Obviously not every poll gives exactly the same result. Some polls he does better in, some he does worse. I was quoting the RCP polling average (which I'm not necessarily endorsing as a good methodology, I just happened to have that page handy at the time).

    I'm also not anti-Yang, although he's not my first choice. I'd vote for him if he gets the nomination.

    Since I'm not a "democrat", no, I'm not in the least bit confused.
