Just because you are a fully informed high information voter does not mean every voter seeing the graphic is equally paying attention.



The quote is true, but the picture lies when it is paired up with the quote.



We don't have to twist things like that. The ends do not justify the means. Further, Trump's statement is enough. A picture from the actual speech would not have the problems.



No need to give Trump supporters material to shoot the graphic down. "He didn't mean that and he didn't pretend to shoot and see how Democrats twist the truth" sways more soft voters than if the Trumpeteers are limited to "He didn't mean that". (Of course he meant it.)



Never interrupt the opponent when they are making a mistake; that is to say in politics, don't give them an opening to change the conversation.
