This has similarities with our EU referendum in that Trump supporters aren't going to care that an entrenched politician calls them racist/bigoted because they don't agree with their views. If anything it will mobilise them more to get the vote out and stick it in their eye.
Disclaimer - I wouldn't vote to Trump but I think the approach of the Democrats and their supporters is probably counterproductive in terms of winning. Smug superiority doesn't win elections.

Completely agree with this, Trump and Brexit are so similar. I'd never vote for Trump or Brexit, but the sneering, elitism and smugness of the opposite sides have been ugly. "Let's just called old and/or working class people studid and racist until they shame vote for us." I was shocked at the Brexit result, I'm pretty certain Trump will win by a Regan-esque landslide.

Does she have a specific type of "contagious pneumonia" - I just thought she had pneumonia that is caused by bacteria and is not particularly contagious. But don't let that stop your indignation.

There is no way Trump didn't write that last line. I also refuse to believe he is healthier than Obama was when he was elected.

I'll defer to your superior knowledge on pneumonia then as I assumed it was contagious and the only other thing I know is children and old people are most vulnerable to it, I was just taking the tweet on face value. Thanks for letting me know I wrote the post in an indignant tone because I didn't know I had.

Given that I doubt Dr Bornstein has performed medical examinations of every US President, I love the use of the word 'unequivocally'.

I was just taking the tweet on face valueYou are a journalist, you should know not to take things at face value. I don't have a superior knowledge, just 50 years plus of life never hearing about an outbreak of "contagious pneumonia".

What is that meant to signify other than indignation? Indignation means anger at unfair treatment. I wrote 'that makes this a bit questionable' which is mild skepticism at best. I was just taking the tweet on face value
You are a journalist, you should know not to take things at face value. I'm not a journalist, I write about poker. Even if I considered myself a journalist I don't think that particularly means I should use the same standard of scrutiny when I am shooting the shit on a fun forum about a topic unrelated to what I write about. Do you think I should be getting statements from Jeremy Hunt the next time I buy some aspirin?

I thought of the exactly the same Simpson's character, but a different line. "You've tried the best, now try the rest!"
