They have both had 20 years of insulated engagement that I feel has weakened their abilities to parse facts and reason effectively. That being said, I mainly commented to say I involuntarily chuckled at “you people anyway” and appreciate you taking time to spell out your opinions. It helps me understand why people still listen to either of them.
