Personal opinion here. If Mitch McConnell were encarcerated tomorrow, no tears from my end. Hope that doesn't sound too harsh.
And am very hopeful that American politics, especially the Republican wing, will drift towards the Mike Pence brand of reasonable dialogue.
Also agree that the Republican Congress said, and believed, things they never should have said. Including the stated goal of making Obama a one-term President. That's never the job of any Congress, is it? The people send them a President once every four years, and it's their job to govern with him. Their statement on Obama's One Term is a fundamental corruption of what Congressmen are elected to do.
I couldn't agree with you more. Couldn't have said it better.
....
However, I do not believe that one party has a monopoly on extremism. What POLICY CHANGES, for example, is Hillary willing to make in order to address the concerns of "deplorables and irredeemables"? 0.00 .
She said that you have to "disregard them from your thinking," or something very similar to that, because of their irredeemability -- in other words, you can never expect them to come to your way of thinking, so you're going to have to ignore them. Do I misunderstand her? If so, please do help me understand her better.
How do you lead a huge minority in America that you consider not part of America? How do you compromise with them, and lead them forward with you?
Respectfully,
