    Ok, you and me. We’re going to start our own country. One where political competition doesn’t hate and belittle the other. One where the loser of the election graciously bows out knowing their country will be stronger for it.

        It didn’t used to be this way… I still remember when John McCain shut down a woman spouting lies about Obama, and defended him as a good man. This obstructionism and negativity originated in Congress. It’s easy to point fingers at presidential negativity, because Trump is leading the charge now, but it was Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell and Co that opened the door for him.
