    Just read up a bit on it from a post on Foxtrot Alpha (which, while on the Gawker family of sites, has been pretty straight laced about these sorts of things in the past). Definitely seems like that's the case.

    Now it makes sense: of course that seemed absurd to me... the people talking about it were conveniently leaving out any and all context to the exchange.

    At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

              The image of Trump watching 20 TV screens and feverishly tweeting is completely believable. It's that combination of thin skin and ADD.

                  Amen, Wonkette.

                  Dr. Mrs. has a theory. Bill pulled Trump aside at Bilderberg last year and said, "Don. Please. She can't lose again. Do you have any idea what it was like in '08? Do you have any conception what it will be like for me after that concession speech in November? She's got lifeless eyes, black, like a doll's eyes. Jesus, guy, help a brother out." And Don said, "don't worry, Bubba. I've got it all figured out. Now pull out of Ivanka and give daddy a turn."

                  This whole thing is either a con or the greatest performance art installation in the history of the world.

                      You said 80% of conservatives are FOR Trump. There are a LOT of holes in that statement.
                      They could just be voting party lines.
                      They could just hate Hillary in particular that much.
                      They could very well indeed be actively for Trump.

                      Just because you vote for a person, doesn't mean you are actually "for" them. That's what I'm saying. There's a lot of "lesser evil" and other factors in there.

                        If you vote for someone, you are necessarily for them.

                        To claim the opposite is insane.

                          Not necessarily. Let's say, to use an extreme, Great Honorable Leader Kim ran against Hillary. I'd vote Hillary. I would not be "for" Hillary, but I'd be so much more against Kim that I'd feel Hillary is the better choice.

                            We have all cast ballots that were purely tactical. God help me, I have rooted for Harvard when Cornell needed their opponent to lose.

                            I would say, though, that if you vote for a candidate and they win, you share responsibility for them having won. In that light you did support their candidacy, even if you didn't support them.

                              You are 100% wrong. If it helps you sleep at night, you can tell yourself that. But a vote for someone is an explicit endorsement of that candidate.

                              This same twisted logic is being used by the GOP to somehow say that Trump is bad but still endorse him.

                                Or the same logic that ANY party uses for their candidate.
