Somehow I DO NOT think that Madison and Jefferson had ANY problems Ripping into the other when they WERE WRONG!
I understand what you are saying, but a bad example. Madison and Jefferson were as close politically and personally as any two combinations of Presidents I can think of. Madison served in the Jefferson administration as his Secretary of State and before that was the legislative leader of Jefferson’s political party. At the time, Secretary of State was considered the last rung to the top. I cannot think of one instance where Jefferson ripped into Madison, even at the darkest moments of the War of 1812. A better example would be Pierce and Buchanan with Lincoln. However, both men were shunned for doing so.
