Perhaps then you shouldn't have made it into a political position by suggesting that they'd all vote for a specific candidate.

It's a bit of a trusting trust exercise - you can prove it in a way that satisfies you, but that doesn't necessarily satisfy everyone.

Much more debatable because ISIS videos encourage outright violence.

I didn't say they'd all vote for a specific candidate, but based on what you're telling me, this is the logical conclusion:

1) People don't vote based on their beliefs, 2) Beliefs can't be wrong, 3) A vote based on a wrong belief can't lead to an undesirable candidate.

I didn't say that's what you said, I said that's the logical conclusion.
