Lonesome, I agree!

This Biden / Trump WAR is destroying us & the divide is getting almost too wide to bridge!

That’s assuming they even want to bridge it.

I am beyond disgusted with the “Orange Man Bad” “Fu*k Joe Biden & Heels Up Harris” “Basket of Deplorable, MAGA Cult” blah, blah, blah “whataboutisms” rhetoric coming out of BOTH sides!

We desperately need a centrist, peace maker, but is there someone? Or is it too late bc the lines are drawn, and the War has spilled too much blood already?

It is NEVER too late for a peacemaker to appear, Honey. Somewhere there is someone who remembers that old bit of doggeral we used to sing long ago in my high school choir when we actually believed the words ., " Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me" Maybe that someone will remember them too and take them to heart.

Your "handle" reminds me of an old English proverb: You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Flies represent your goals. Honey stands for agreeable things that you do to achieve your goals. You can win people to your side more easily by gentle persuation than by hostile confrontation.

Gentle persuasion is not much in favor these days. The frustration we all feel with a country seemingly going crazy seems to require hostile confronataion but that doesn't seem to be working too well. Time perhaps to try some honey.

Too short a CV and what there is is underwhelming and/or troublesome. Not a rocket I'd get onto. Maybe youse should stop running around in panic and terror glomming onto the most sub-optimal solutions in fear.

Apparently the name you use to post here isn't reflective of who you really are. Have a nice life.

Oh I apologize. I didnt look at your name and thought you were the person who's been taunting me for asking if the Reps are ready for a minority woman. I wouldnt have been so reactive to your quick comment. Are you calling me or Hayley a RINO?

Read her book. She doesn't have much to say, and when she does, she still doesn't have much to say.

Pretty much an empty suit.

You can't have been following much of her career to say that. If you'd watched her even a day in the UN you'd see what grit she's made of.

Sometimes less is more. Trump and Christie always have plenty to say. But dignity goes deeper.

I respect your opinion, and she was an excellent messenger, I just think she lacks political creativity. I want to like her, and would vote for her over any Democrat, but believe there are better choices. Liking her as much as you do, you really should read her book.

Lastly, and this will sound sexist, but I think she'd make an fantastic VP running mate.

I cannot disagree with that estimation either. Imagine what she'd achieve compared to Kamala. I don-t think it's sexist because it's realistic. I think if she proved herself, she'd have a chance at the big job in later years. Perhaps she could shine some of her class on whoever she's VP to. This is really an idea I'd like to see gain some ground.

Huh? Ridiculous. What do you stand for? Sticking your head in the sand?
