GfS:—    "Is it 'normal' for 'so-called liberals' to make such a commotion out of every LITTLE nano-non-important-trivia, and blow it out of proportion such as, to whom a candidate MIGHT have named his kid after??????!!!!???"

No, considering the intellectual level of the average voter these days, it's definitely NOT normal.

But such bits of "trivia" give one a good indication of the premises a candidate's (or any person's, for that matter) philosophies and beliefs are based on, which, in turn, can give a pretty good clue as to how he or she would behave once in office.

Even moreso if, later on, the person tries to deny it or cover it up.

One does need to pay attention if one is going to be an intelligent voter. Or campaign worker.

Or human being.
