Unite or divide

[SHallguy2]

Who is going to give in first? Somewhere along the line something has to give. Joe is talking about uniting the country and making policy to benefit all Americans. In the same sentence calling folks in the crowd ugly and talking about policies that benefit small segments of the population. Trump is not exactly the Uniter in chief nor does he claim to be. Trump is pay back for all the abuse from the prior administrations. I’m afraid we can not move forward with the old guard in place plus we are training new politicians both sides in division. Whoever gets elected needs to schedule retreats preferably camping retreats where they are stuck in tents cooking on open fires for each other. This will cost tax payers less money. We’ve had nearly 15 years of division and sadly we are looking at another 4 no matter who is elected. Is either capable of uniting the country with the same characters in place (senate and house)? Let the division begin.

Unfortunately, as long as we keep rewarding bad behavior we will get more of the same.

How about term limits as a starter.Cut the influence of lobbyists that career politicians are influenced by.

It’s gone on for much more than 15 years, were you around for how Reagan was treated?

Corrupt politicians, corrupt and biased media with more influence than ever before because of social media, extreme lobbying and special interest groups, no term limits on Congress and much more. It'll take many, many years to turn this around and many people of good faith. Tough hill to climb.

I get the feeling everyone in politics has ghosts in the closet. Afraid to put their own away knowing there might be consequences for themselves.

I could care less about the ghosts. What I care about is doing their job of serving the public.

We’re very divided now, but not this bad.

There are many parallels between 1860 and 2020. Let’s hope there aren’t too many.
