First order of business should be recognition that everyone has a right to their opinion and preference, even if you or I or Joe Blow can’t comprehend it. Second would be throwing epithets like “idiot”, “moron”, ****head, etc. ought to get a poster banned. Jim Rob has rules about personal attacks and they ought to be enforced. Third, making jokes about a candidate we don’t favor is fun and if someone who likes that candidate is offended they should take a breath and try to laugh it off with the rest of us. Nobody’s perfect and Trump’s street alley syntax, Cruz’s inappropriately timed smirks, Rubio’s imitation of a robot suffering a software loop, and every and anything about Jeb Bush are fair game. It’s too much to expect everybody to act like they’re Oxford dons sipping tea but keeping the discussions and disagreements civil and fact based ought to be a goal.
