As for the straw man, simply admitting I didn't write what you claimed I wrote is sufficient too. Explaining your "interpretation" doesn't change the fact. If you had read the transcript from Nuremburg to which I specifically referred rather than assuming that you know what the transcript says, you never would have interpreted my words incorrectly. All in all, your typical establishment approach is a sad reminder of what the Democratic party has become. Hillary supporters are defending the failed status quo of endless illegal wars. Horrible policies that are neither liberal nor progressive. It was bad when Bush did it, so you should be honest enough to admit it's still bad. chaszzz

I quoted Obama, who quite correctly pointed out that it was the WORLD that issued the 'red line', when they collectively signed and ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Nice tap dancing..

Doesn't change the fact that it was OBAMA, not the world, who said, ""We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized."

The world didn't issue a red line.. Obama did..

This is fact. Obama lied..

After all the shit that Trump has walked back, I don't think the right has any standing to debate this one.

So, you concede that Obama "walked back" his red line..

OK, then we're good.. :D

I'm sure I could find plenty of instances where he has;

Yes I am sure you can.. WAY AFTER the fact where he had no choice..

But the point is, it takes President Obama *SO LONG* to get there.. Sometimes WEEKS....

THAT's the point.

The Democrats are chronic worriers. At about this time every cycle, the Democrats begin to question everything about their candidate, begin to doubt the polls, and generally fret. This is actually good, because it inspires a doubling down in GOTV efforts. The Republicans are prone to the opposite. About this time in every cycle, they start talking UP their candidate's chances of winning, and begin to doubt that the polls are accurately portraying their candidate's immense lead. This works for them, because GOP voters perceive doubt as weakness. Trump's strength among these voters will be in direct proportion to his ability to exude confidence. Then the debates. I predict that the press will give the first round to Trump, even if his performance is lackluster. This is almost baked-in, as the press a) wants a really close race, and b)doesn't expect Trump to be a very good debater in the first place. Each side will then feel vindicated, as the Democrats' freak-out can intensify, and the GOP can crow exultantly about their electoral superiority. The press will then over-compensate by turning Trump's next gaffe after that into a full-blown story, in the hope that the second debate evens the two candidates back up. This will be the debate with the most memorable lines, and the most peril for Trump. Buckle up.

The end is in sight. In 50 days we will know whether Donald Trump has pulled off the biggest upset in American history. It is a credit to the reality TV star’s populist skills that such an outcome is possible. Hillary Clinton is all that stands between the world and the Trumpian abyss.

It is a pity she has to pull this off while recovering from pneumonia. It is little short of astonishing that this close to midnight she feels obliged to launch another drive to explain to voters why she wants to be president. What exactly was the past year about?
