- More than changing individual minds, I think it has the best chance so far of changing the tenor of the campaign in the media, in particular. - znufrii, dad. Jul 31, 09:45 4
  - I hope so...Because if not, he is just going to sink lower and lower and his minions will lap it up - amoxy Jul 31, 09:51 3
    - I'm not sure he can sink lower than going after a gold star family, but I don't really care to find out. -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Jul 31, 09:54 2
      - He could call the "Challenger" astronauts "losers" or attack victims of 9/11 -- nm - amoxy Jul 31, 09:59 1
        
        would that be a new low, or just a variation on the same thing? -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 31, 10:02
