What makes dialog with right-wingers frustrating is their lack of perspective, or even self-awareness. **Starving Artist** , for example, was pleased by his own Medicare experience, but still opposes public health funding since it will _eventually_ turn the U.S. into a socialist hell-hole like Canada.

I ask Dopers: Would the following be a fair summary of Ditka’s performance in that thread? Mr. Ditka has indicated that the fraud allegations against Trump U., while probably valid, are too irrelevant for comment, and certainly less important than any misspeakings by the candidate the fraudster defeated in 2016.

I will retract the above comment if/when he demonstrates sentience. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-forget-do-we-have-a-general-hurricaneditka-pit-thread/805952)._
