Proudly Deplorable

COTTonLINE is proudly deplorable, if that's what supporting The Donald makes us. In fact, I may buy a button to wear with that slogan.

That said, I also wish Mrs. Clinton a speedy and complete recovery. She deserves to be beaten fair and square, not to fade away to some high-priced sanitarium. Anyway, I figure Joe Biden would be a more formidable competitor for Trump.

We'll say it one last time, in a two party system candidates are not responsible for the fringe people who endorse them. Someone's endorsement of a candidate does not imply a reciprocal endorsement by the candidate of the endorser.

Trump isn't responsible for David Duke, Hillary isn't responsible for her support by the Communist Party of the United States of America.  It is the nature of a two party system that nearly everybody to the left of center endorses the Democrat; while nearly everybody to the right of center endorses the Republican.

Thus major party candidates will have Maoist or neo-Nazi extremists, pedophiles or snake handlers supporting them. It is a quirk of having, effectively, only two parties.  Maybe we should screen who gets to vote, but we don't and won't - get over it.
