The sad thing is that 50% of America doesn't care. They do the same thing as some sports fans do. A player on their favorite team can grab, and rape a woman in the public street with a thousand witness's, and they will make an excuse for them because it is "Their" guy, person, or team. Same thing with politics. It is all about deflection. Blame other presidents and people of the other party, instead of just dealing with the person and the situation. If you ask some of the people I know and work with, no democrat or liberal has "ever" done anything wrong, corrupt, immoral, raped anyone, molested any child, taken bribes, given jobs to family or friends, used campaign monies illegally, lied, been and adulterer, drove drunk, lied on their taxes, yelled at their children, exceeded the speed limit, owned a gun, shot a gun, hated someone because of their color, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, ( I take that back, they don't believe in religion and want it banned in every form ) drank alcohol under age, used political position to get favor for sex, jobs, coercion, get out of a speeding ticket, received gifts, ............. sorry this could go on all night. Come to think about it, heck, they are perfect. Maybe we all should be like them.
Seems to me, although not always, when a Republican or Conservative screws up and is caught, the they tend to throw out their own. The other side circles the wagons and protects at all cost. I have always been willing to converse with anyone about anything, and admit when my beliefs are challenged, or if someone in my party has done something wrong. However for quite some time the other side has at all cost been unwilling to admit to anything in any form at all period. I think we need to go back to the adage, of: You don't discuss Politics or Religion period.
To the other side that has perpetuated so much hate and violence lately, although they claim to be the all inclusive, love everyone, opened minded, freedom of speech ( that they fought so hard in the 60's to promote, and now they fight so hard to suppress )
