You are incredible. I know you're not too stupid to understand what I'm saying, and what the text was saying. You are going to great lengths to interpret his meaning with nothing other than your desire to be right.

Tell me how reading it this way is doing anything but simply comprehending his words.

He used insurance policy. He didn't say "I wish I could accept the theory that there is no way my house will be broken into, but I can't take that chance, so I'm going to lock my doors."

He said "I wish I could accept the theory that there is no way my house will be broken into, but I can't take that chance, so I'm going to insure my things."

He obviously likened Trump winning to dying before 40, so in both cases, the triggering event would enable the use of the insurance policy (in this case as much damming information as possible on Trump).

It's even more ridiculous that you are arguing that he meant preventing Trump winning while simultaneously pointing out how they didn't even try. Doesn't that kill your argument?

Admit you are hinging your entire argument on an interpretation without supporting context. My interpretation is based on his text, the meaning of words, and the fact that as soon as he won, they began the hard press related to all the bullshite they were putting together.

There is basically no context, and it's in a text--not some official memo.

It just doesn't make sense to absolutely abhor the possibility of Trump winning so much, that they are willing to hatch a plot that would at best be improper, and at worst be illegal, to dig up dirt that would be politically damaging.

But instead of using it to prevent the thing they despise, when Trump only has political but not real power, they keep it hidden? And not only does the information become far less valuable when he has real power, that real power would mean that they're plot would be exponentially more likely to be discovered and used against them, risking their careers if not worse.

If Trump and Hillary positions were flipped and you were in their shoes, what ensurance would you have not using it to help Hillary lose and increasing the odds she becomes your boss and finding out about your plot?

There is just no logical insurance policy once the person is in power and your boss.

But you're probably right. These irrational cheating lovers discussing the thing they're most irrational about obviously use precise language when using a rhetorical device through an informal means of communication.
