You are basically saying that it's credible because you don't like Trump or it seems like something that he would say. That's just not the way I look at evidence, regardless of the fact I don't like Trump either. An unnamed source months later? Why is this only brought up after the Clinton campaign makes nuclear weapons an issue? Nobody should take that seriously.
So you don't think that a Presidential candidate should think about nuclear weapons usage? You don't think a candidate should have to bear the burden of running his mouth?
Listen, if you spent six months bragging to me about how badass you are, even as your sails are shown to be empty, if I later hear that you were ignorant of the actual issues at hand, who should I trust? You, who have spent six months spinning fabrications, or a source I can actually vet?
You're not giving him the benefit of the doubt, you're giving him the benefit of the mouth. I've heard nothing, not a single word, that indicates he's a thoughtful person, and now you want me to extend consideration? Sorry, that ain't happening. Credibility is earnt, and it seems I have higher standards than you in that regard.
I'm saying that I've heard Trump say so many stupid things that one more piece of idiocy which can be fact-checked doesn't merit my effort in so doing, because I already know he's a cunt.
If you haven't figured that out already, just say what it is that's confuzzling you about him. I'll be happy to clear things up, and provide the facts that put his alleged comment in context.
It's that whole "first impressions are lasting impressions" thing -- except with Trump, it's also the second, fourth, seventh, nineteenth, twenty-seventh impression ... fourty-fourth, eighty-sixth ... shall I go on?
I don't care if he said what is alleged, because I already know he's appealing to the lowest common denominator. He's painted himself with his own colors ... why are you crying about him not being seen clearly?
I believe Scarborough more than I believe Trump -- or you, for that matter. Trump has been shown to lie about things, and while you're a good guy here, I don't know you from a can of paint ... and I doubt you've got sources as good as Scarborough's.
