The winnowing down by the “content of character” criteria needs to start well in advance of the general election choice between the evil D and the useless R. It needs to start well before the primary season, when we get locked in to a breathless choice among a handful of notorious midgets (as opposed to well-known potential statesmen), all of whom think they are capable of running the country.
Sadly, the supposed conservative republicans would have done well to be fronting an actual conservative candidate the day after the 2nd go around for the lyin’ king. Nope. Too much posturing and BS for that to happen. If not careful, they’ll again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Or is it the other way around.
