Why not take the High Road?

@BlueVeins It's not about human rights. It's about a sense of common decency and protocol. Yes, they've been at each other, but their actions are an embarrassment!

@Northwest what exactly does it explain?

And how have I twisted what you said? You think tearing up a speech on national television is the same as standing up for oneself?

Let me count the ways:

Not what I'm arguing

[quote]I know plenty of folks who believe firmly in what Trump is doing that would never have any part of those shenanigans.[/quote]

Not what I'm arguing

[quote]I think it's downright laughable that the Democratic party, the party that believes it knows better and represents the rights and freedoms of people everywhere couldn't produce a candidate that could beat someone who couldn't identify the Bill of Rights on a bet.[/quote]

Not what I'm arguing, not to mention how insulting you are to most of the Democratic candidates.

Not what I'm arguing.

[quote]So, by all means, lets have public temper tantrums.[/quote]

Not what I'm arguing, and that's where you really twist what I said, specifically with the temper tantrums reference.

@Northwest Well, I'm out then.

I insulted no Democrats. They lost. The DNC intentionally undermined the only truly viable candidate that could have beaten Trump (yes... I voted for Bernie in the primary).

I never intended to make this an ad hominem attack on you or any of the candidates, but it seems you want to interpret it that way. There's no way that I can twist "fuck taking the high road" into anything other than what you intended.

So, I am gracefully bowing out.

You win.

@softspokenman Those military guys looked extra stiff this time around.

@soar2newhighs I wish it wouldn't, but I think the fight will move on to Bolton next, and I doubt that's going to be civilized.

@MistyCee That may happen, but what took place last night, regardless of one's political party backing and support, it was a national venue that was insulted as were those in attendance by the behaviors of two figures who should have had the decency to as I said, take the high road. If they're at each other's throats as politicians often are, there's a time and place for it, but not at The State of The Union.

@soar2newhighs I hear you, but the State is pretty ununified despite what the speech said.
