Please supply your facts and cogent arguments for this. I gave my
reason; you did not dispute it at all, providing no evidence.

THIS is what you consider "evaluating the data" and providing a
"cogent rebuttal"??? WOW!
1. It doesn't address the issue at hand at all; this is not about what
Trump says.
2. It's not factual at all. Suppose you allow a 3% error rate in your
"pretty much every sentence". If I supply 100 sentences of Trump that
are not calling someone a name, do you agree to supply 3300 different
sentences of Trump that call someone a name? That should be equally easy
according to your "fact".
3. Trump is not my hero. As I've stated several times over the years, I
have never voted for Trump. I've been quite disappointed that neither
major party could come up with an acceptable candidate in the last 3
presidential elections.  At least the Libertarians had an acceptable
candidate all elections.

So in your opinion "liberal" is pejorative?  I certainly don't believe
it is.  It is descriptive.  Provide your evidence.

Wow! Another fact filled cogent argument! You even snipped the full sentence
and omitted the qualifications and facts that I supplied.  Annoying things,
these facts.

If you want more facts, how about
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/10/03/voter-registration-data-show-democrats-outnumber-republicans-among-social-scientists
which discusses a study looking at voter registrations among 5 different
social science disciplines at 40 top universities.

Over all 5 departments, Democrats out-numbered Republicans by an
11.5 to 1 ratio. But History departments by far had the most
lopsided ratio: for every Republican historian, there were over 33
Democrat historians!

I await your cogent rebuttal.
