"There might be some benefits in having a fruitcake become President." We just had one, and I can't see the benefits.

Interesting Nadine. You seem to have adopted the strategy of "call names" and avoid the reasoning. Unusual but I think I have it figured out: it revolves around financial and military support for Israel. If he was an avid supporter of making Israel a USA state with a self-governing Special Administrative Region status, I think you'd be gung ho for him. When I see names called, I am pretty sure it's because the person is missing something called facts and reasoning. He is obviously NOT a "fruitcake", so you are wrong on that, so there must be something else about him eating at you. Yes, I disagree with him on some things, such as the idea of a gold standard, but I haven't yet come across anyone I always agree with, including myself; we have some difficult debates and I often end up huffing out and having a nice cup of tea instead, leaving the moot unresolved. Come to think of it, I have been having a little debate right now with myself, while writing this, and we have now decided to get up immediately, arrange delivery of a Zenbu Wi-Fi router and have a nice cup of tea. But I don't think I am a fruitcake because I disagreed with me. Mqurice
