what team a person roots for. However, when I see suspicious-looking claims about a new favorite team that happens to be based where the would-be voters are, it makes me distrust the candidate. As I said in my first post in this thread, I don't believe anything she says. She can root for whoever the hell she wants, but if she lies about it - or leaves me with the impression she is, anyway - I do give a shit about that. It's like the Chelsea thing - I don't give a shit where she was on 9/11 as long as she was safe, but when she and her mother come up with different stories and hers looks a lot more believable, that bothers me too.

Republican or Democrat, when a politician speaks my default setting is distrust. However, it bothers me a lot more when a Democrat gives me reason to feel justified in that approach. If Hillary were to tell me the sky was blue, I'd have to look at the sky myself.
