Jomentum and Jon Huntsman are teaming up
t’s May, and Americans are planting — not just fruit and vegetable gardens, but a large and historically diverse presidential field. Thanks to an increasing variety of candidates, the 2016 presidential crop promises to be competitive and healthy for the country.
Regardless of your party preference, it’s good to see people with different ideas and perspectives — and a lot of them — running for our nation’s highest office. The interest in the position reflects a shared sense our country can be even better. We have big problems to solve, plenty of ideas on how that should be done, and a lot of people who want to drive solutions.
This is all good, and the behavior deserves to be rewarded with our careful attention to each candidate — particularly when those candidates share and debate their ideas about how problems might be solved.
Our hope, in fact, is the issues debate that grows out of, and around, the presidential field will serve to reinvigorate citizens for whom political acrimony has encouraged apathy. A large presidential field has the potential to make personal attacks more difficult by diffusing the “enemy,” meaning the potential for substantive debate is greater for 2016 than it has been in past presidential cycles.

This is why it is stupid to fall in love with so called GOP moderates... I am reminded when Arthur Schlessinger Jr. called Joe Lieberman a "sanctimonious twit" during the Lewinsky brouhaha.
