The way things are these days, if you make any kind of praise, however benign, to a despot it essentially means you support everything about that person...

So Trump supports imprisoning, torturing and killing anyone who criticizes him. Thanks for making that clear. I guess he also supports starving a huge percentage of those citizens who escape imprisonment.
Love letters are SO revealing.

Don't you think you're being just a teeny bit hyperbolic?

Yes, of course - hyperbole is the logical outcome of applying your stated algorithm: "if you make any kind of praise, however benign, to a despot it essentially means you support everything about that person..."

There's just too many octogenarians here on Medicare who will show up to defeat the candidate promising socialized healthcare reform.

While Trump's budgets include radical cuts to Medicare - the very social program that takes care of them? I used to live in red FL decades ago (Naples)... as I recall it wasn't quite THAT stupid back then.

When such folks hear socialism, they think "death panels", not "available and affordable care".

It isn't really that optimistic. Bernie is running against the establishment, the partisan media, and Not Bernie which is the sum of the other candidates unless Warren gives her delegates to him in the end. So the map should be done with just a Bernie and Not Bernie color key. Biden will also likely get a bump from SC and if so, the numbers in other states should include a small bump in his favor.

See...

Yup. And when they hear "Trump" they think "best economy ever!".
It's amazing how readily people internalize lies that they want to believe.
