I despise these nasty politics in running for office. If had my wish the Dem, Repub and all parties would be eliminated.
Let every candidate and politician run as an independant. Towing the party line has been disastrous for the nation. George Washington had the correct instincts on this and history has proven him correct.
Get used to it. The bright side is that, unlike the Roman Empire, the political assassinations are only to someone's character. No one who is outside the political "club" will ever run for high office again. Too many people looking through your trash for that.
