Teere is no context. We don't know what he insurance policy is in regards to.

Maybe you're right and the analogy was correct, and the insurance policy was related to something else altogether, maybe even something not nefarious.

Or maybe they are talking about something nefarious but the analogy, as a rhetorical device to get a complex point across, using a means of communication that is informal and imprecise, wasn't perfect.

So assuming a specific context that is not provided AND expecting a perfect asd precise analogy AND disregarding how asinine the plan would be means it's not the most logical conclusion because Occam's Razor.

Have you ever been wrong in your own mind on this board?

That's the most tortured recap of the most simple analysis of two incredibly simple sentences I've ever seen. Seriously.

They needed to do "something" to have an "insurance policy" in their back pocket in the event Trump won.

Review their actions after Trump's win and any rational person can surmise what the frick they were talking about. Except you. If I told "I'm going to take drastic measures of Hillary wins" and then cut my dick off in that alternate reality, apparently you'd say "now now, we don't know what drastic measures means without some context."

I can't believe I'm still talking to you about this.
