[QUOTE=nickohlus;51133718]You guys know that being biased isn't actually a good thing, right?
Even if it's direct at someone like Donald Trump, all bias does is erode YOUR own personal judgment with anything about which you are biased, thus hindering your capacity for clear thought.
I mean, you can be biased if you want to and be in the cool club of people who absolutely despise things and people, but at least admit that you're being biased.
Maybe then people will stop being proud of ignorance.
Isn't that one of the pillars of the left? Vanquish wilfull ignorance so as to do away with racism, bigotry, inequality, etc. Think being biased will accomplish that?

Is this a for real argument? Like, do you think you're making some kind of legitimate point here?
It's not the first time I've seen you arguing this, and it's never stopped being absurd. There is [I]nothing[/I] wrong with being opposed to something, so long as your opposition to it is based on sound reason and facts, nor is being intolerant of intolerance is a violation of sound reason. Disliking Donald Trump on the basis of the things he has said, done, and called for does not make one ignorant.
Furthermore, bias (or preference) is not implicitly a bad thing. It is only a problem when it prevents a person from behaving impartially in duties that demand objectively fair and equal treatment, or when the failure to disclose said bias could be seen as deceptive or misleading. Sharing opinions on who you are voting for, and why, demands no such impartiality and reveals the preference by nature of the discussion.

Don't know why I'm even bothering to rebut this argument, to be honest. It's inherently ridiculous. You're arguing that having an opinion of any kind makes one a hypocrite.

For some reason, I sincerely doubt he actually knew he had a mic problem and he was blaming it on that regardless of the truth.
It just so happened that this time he was right, but I put that more on coincidence than him actually finding a problem. I'm sure if he thought he had a mic problem, he would have said it right then and there in the debate.

Either way, the mic problem doesn't seem significant. A moderately embarrassing bit of technical difficulty for the venue perhaps, but it didn't prevent Trump from being heard in the slightest. Every word he said came through loud and clear.
When you watch the video of the debate you can hear them both just fine, but you can hear the room echoing back when Hillary talks and Trump sounds like he's in a booth.

Do you support Donald Trump as a presidential candidate? Could you explain your reasoning as to why you support him?
Here's the four main reasons/arguments I've heard from people who support him:
-He's a businessman and he already has money, thereby making him completely incorruptible by special interest groups and he must therefore believe what he says and have the capability to do it
-He's gonna burn the system down
-Political Correctness and/or 'SJWs'
-He is supposedly more supportive of LGBT rights moreso than the average Republican candidate
the TV audio went across just fine, the audiance isnt there to participate in that kind of debate anyways

To me it sounds like he's just not cool with one candidate being disadvantaged in this way
[QUOTE=Orkel;51132989]Can he ever talk without this rambling repeating style?[/QUOTE]
I read that and the way its worded really reassured me it's a true Trump quote

Stop don't start this bullshit. All he said was "bias isn't good EVEN IF ITS DONALD TRUMP" he's not showing support for him. He's right.
