The majority of Trump supporters are doing so out of anger, emotion, etc. Have you read the exit polls? Have you listened to Trump supporters on why they support him. If you're honest, you'll admit the majority say they're angry.

Again, a double standard, just like your double standard on Bush. I was not referring to just "some post on his website". I am referring to his platform. No, a platform does not cover past mistakes, but it can be a sign of growth and improvement. If I judged every candidate solely by past mistakes while ignoring his current platform, I'd never vote at all. Nobody would be qualified.
And maybe you feel comfortable judging all of Trump's supporters as voting for him out of emotion, etc. I'm sorry, but I have not encountered such. I hear sound and well reasoned arguments.

You did not, obviously. Have you seen my reply? It contains your quote which was NOT as you claimed.
How is it relevant. As to the discussion, it's not. As to your character, it matters that you would blatantly lie about something so trivial as this.

The platform which includes his signature policy: immigration. The same signature policy of which he's already said to be willing to compromise on, and has (himself) stated in the Detroit debate he already backtracked on.
That platform?

Another lie.
Just stop with the lying. Good grief! It's just silly and stupid to continue to lie about it.

Brother, if you do not retract your statement, this is going to the administration. I corrected my statement the minute I saw it. You had not responded. So my correction and your post must have happened simultaneously. I am not a liar and you will either retract that comment or we will go to the administration. You have deteriorated into such a bad spirit that you are blind to your own intolerance.

Send it. I have the screenshot. The admin can verify I'm telling the truth. You can even see it yourself by looking through the posts.

So you maintain that I am a liar, that my explanation that our posts must have happened simultaneously is also a lie? You will not take my word as a brother? Really?

You didn't say that at the beginning, did you? No, you didnt.
What you claimed was that it was right, when my post contained your quote which showed clearly it wasn't.
Had you claimed this "simultaneous" correction/post, I would have not had an issue with it.
But you didn't. Instead, you doubled down and claimed you corrected it before I replied.
Only after I posted the screenshot did you claim the "simultaneous" correction/post.

Again, I caught it moments after I posted it and corrected it. At that point you had not replied. Be mature and just accept my explanation as a brother instead of trying to turn this into an attack on my character simply because I support a candidate you do not like.

This is really silly. Had you not been so eager to try and prove me wrong, maybe a bit of humility would have helped avoid the situation. But, no, you've been calling me uninformed, gullible, insinuating I don't know anything, that I'm some kind of an idiot. And you've become so wrapped up in it, that you allowed something so stupid as a little typo escalate into a bigger deal than it really is.
