Rolling Eyes, Pointing Gun At Head

LISTENING TO PEOPLE explaining their reasons for having voted for Trump can yield interesting results. One gentleman said that he, like everyone else, rolls his eyes at many of the comments Trump makes, but on the other hand, he continued, he would be unable to vote for Hillary Clinton even if a gun were pointed at his head encouraging him to dim to do so. Upon examination, one fact stands out about both parts of this two part explanation: it is extreme exaggeration. One can safely surmise that anyone would rather vote for Hillary Clinton than take a bullet in the head, even her most ardent detractors, whether thy wish to admit it. Furthermore, merely "rolling eyes" at what Trump says doesn't cut the mustard, so to speak. One must do more. One must, in order to be reasonable, ash whether Trump's comments reveal pathological mental tendencies, narcissism, or mere garden variety dishonesty. When the president of the United States asserts that he lost the popular vote only because millions of people voted illegally for his opponent, or that thousands of Moslems were cheering wildly when the World Trade Center fell, or that it was Hillary Clinton who started the rumor that Obama was born in Africa, not Hawaii, the rolling of the eyes is insufficient in terms of response. One must seek expert opinion from mental health specialists, and, most definitely, one must never vote for such a person, because, if nothing else, such a presidential candidate is clearly a nut case. and this is our great national problem; an unwillingness of the American individual to accept reality, to accept truth, and a tendency to distort same for the purpose of reinforcing beliefs already held. We have a national epidemic of this type of behavior. Nut cases, indeed.
