Strange, I don't hear you complaining about my use of "Drumpf".

You're so far in the Hitlery tank, it's really quite embarrassing.
Don't think i've ever used Drumpf, and don't understand why people bother using it either. But if you are drawing similarities between a generic Drumpf insult name and one referencing Hitler, then sure, go for it.

This includes the post-Dem convention bounce I assume?
Won't last until November so will be interesting to see how and where Trump makes up ground.
The question is what can Trump do to change the direction of the polling. He will need to run a disciplined message that avoids these self inflicted wounds (like the Khan situation), can he do it? Nothing so far indicates that he can.

You're as bad as each other in my book. At least you don't try to act impartial... I'll give you that much.
Have I ever tried to act impartial, or claim I am? I'm all in on the Dem's winning, because if Trump wins i have real fears for the impact that has on the global economy and what that would mean for my work environment. Not to mention concerns about world diplomacy and the lives of 350 million Americans that would be screwed. If it was a race for the leader of some two bit country that didn't matter, i'd be much less invested.

Where i make claims/arguments i try to back them up with evidence, such as the post on the polling in Pennsylvania and the election in general.

Quoting Donald Trump from a rally today"

"Bernie Sanders made a deal with the devil! She is a devil! He made a deal with the devil!"

Yep he is now sounding no different to those loons on the streets shouting at others that they're gonna go to hell

Impartial was the wrong word. I meant objective. You are the other side of the Hazard coin.

What happened to all those plans that Trump is gonna sway to the middle once he won the nomination and win the moderate crowd? Oh right that's complete bullshit coz he's getting crazier and crazier as we speak

The guy just flat out has a mental illness
Lmao. And you expect people to take your posts seriously?

Also, using mental illness as a way to insult people isn't what many people would consider "progressive".

It isn't an "insult", it's a factual description, the guy needs help

Well if Trump fans like you can take him seriously then I'd expect you to take anything seriously if you try

yes, but I'd rather put my energy into conversing with more objective observers than going through your posts.
If anyone tries to claim they are objective they are full of it. You have your biases as well, the question is whether people can make convincing arguments based on more than "feelings" or "beliefs".

I'm sorry but what symptoms of mental illness is Trump showing? I'm assuming you're qualified to diagnose such things?

Technically you could argue it is sexist based on the fact hair loss disproportionately affects males. Technically. :)
You could argue it, but you'd be making a losing argument. I guess you could say that some males have been somewhat oppressed because of their hair loss. I don't think I'd find it very persuasive if someone tried to argue that the male sex has been at an overall disadvantage because we are more prone to losing our hair. That would be a bit like when people try to argue that white people are now disadvantaged because of affirmative action or that straight people are at a disadvantage because there is that one scholarship for LGBTI people.

It just makes no sense.

He is possibly the biggest narcissist in the world so there's one personality disorder right there

Long line of antisocial behaviour, another personality disorder right there

Seems pretty ADD so that's also possible

I actually am, it's literally my to-be profession, but your kind don't listen to experts, right? You'd rather do a Homer Simpson

We should know by now that's his style of speaking that appeals to his supporters and attracts attention
