He or She: Please don't get me wrong. I would NEVER vote for Trump. The eight-foot high, God-knows-how-thick, brick wall idea is a real turn-off. Anyway, I like Mexicans. I'd build toll-free highways and bridges. I don't want to ban or deport millions of Muslims either. And I don't think that giving mega-corporations obscene tax breaks would do any good at all. I certainly don't agree that climate change is a fantasy invented by the Chinese. So I don't want to discuss those crappy ideas, never mind the size of his" his hands. He's pro-torture for Chrisakes! So you don't have to worry that I might vote for him. But I do wonder if you could answer some of my questions.

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: Right! Trump says a no-fly zone over Syria would cause nuclear war with Russia. Wouldn't nuclear war with Russia be bad for the environment?

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: OK. Let's drop that question. How about this one: Trump says that rich nations like Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia, as well as some European Union nations ought to pay for their own defense. Exactly what is the problem with that? I'd really like to know.

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: No, no. You're not answering my question. I'm really interested in discussing why rich nations shouldn't pick up the tab for their own defense.

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: Trump says he admires Putin, and Putin seems to like him. Could you explain what exactly is wrong with improving relations with Russia?

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: Trump has promised to surveil Muslims in this country, but Hillary is pro universal surveillance. Do you see a problem with this?

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: I mean the truth seems to be that Hillary did very little as Secretary of State to bring about peace in the Middle East. Isn't she a pawn in the pocket of the Saudis and Netanyahu?

Media Person: Trump is a liar, a racist, and a sexual predator.

He or She: Trump says that the race between Hillary and Bernie was fixed by the DNC. Wasn't it?
