Diplomacy, manners, and expecting our next POTUS to be a 'grown up'

[sjdnb]

is not trivial or silly. But, more importantly, any time we are able to observe/hear these candidates - all of them - in an unscripted moment, without handlers or the M$M manipulating/filtering content, we need to grab it and use our own judgment to draw independent conclusions. Otherwise, we are just letting someone else cast our vote for us.

2. Oh, this is the only dupe you've found tonight

click on latest ... I'm at least making a valid point, not just defending a candidate.

3. You posted a topic with nearly the same exact wording.

That's spamming. That's not nice.

I at least elaborated on my original thought ... didn't just make some lame as passive/aggressive crap up to defend or attack any candidate.

Doesn't it bother you that the candidates with the $$s/power supporters/celebrity endorsers are so handled/manipulated/filtered that you are being fed who to vote for and, really, have NO CLUE as to who is hiding behind the mask they've been told (via focus group and polling results) to wear?
