You still haven't offered any real reason why posting a transcript of an incoherent ramble should be considered an example of virtue signaling.
WTF is " virtue signaling" anyway? Some of the **** these people come up with and attribute to the Dems is beyond me. Safe spaces? Who the hell?

According to Google, it's this, at least in theory:

vir·tue sig·nal·ing
noun
the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.


In reality, it seems to be more like a convenient insult used by people who want to dismiss legitimate but disagreeable or potentially embarrassing facts.

Here's part of the conversation:



Here's the full transcript:

"Trump is completely incoherent."

Quote of the day
“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in
which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants
of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have
overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s
a major accomplishment.”

- Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014

Could someone please tell me what the hell she just said?

So, tell us, who did YOU vote for?

Did YOU ever comment on Hillary's evasive answers?

Or when Obama was asked a question, he would take 5 minutes to answer and in the end you didn't have an idea what he was talking about?

8 years of it and NOW all of a sudden you are concerned.

OH, the hypocrisy!

When I read transcripts, and this AP interview is worth reading, of Trump's speeches and interviews, I'm impressed. He doesn't speak like past presidents, but if you look past his informal, unconventional way of communicating, Trump is usually very, very astute in his assessments.

Seriously you cannot even compare. We are talking about a President that rarely talks coherently. There is no hypocrisy. There is just astonishment that Trump supporters don't recognize it.

Which assessments are astute?

The man actually claimed he has higher ratings than the destruction of the WTC on 9/11...

Then again he did brag about his building being the tallest in NYC on the day the WTC fell, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised at how repugnant this man is.

He is truly a psychopathic narcissist.
