>>Some will reflexively say this is just a partisan post. But I don't see how anyone can read this article with any degree of open mindedness and not be troubled about the prospect of this person becoming President of the U.S.

>Read your post again Mike. It's like the women who says 'Some of you will just disregard my statements because I am a woman.' You already put the premise out there that anyone who would want to discuss it is either partisan or is not open minded. It's a typical democratic ploy and I'm dissappointed in you. You're starting to copy the pundits...

Before reading any other responses to this message... I haven't read Mike's message that way. To me it looks as he's predicting (or, to use a fashionable term, preëmpting) the usual backlash of "your sources are biased", "looking at the author's credentials..." etc etc, which is mostly very boring and actually leaving only the most persistent around the waterhole.
