The increased polarization of and rancor in American politics has been driven by politicians who use division to gain political power. It is a failure of leadership and a use of division solely for purpose of gaining political power, not for the purpose of moving the country forward.
Congress needs to promote leaders within both parties who are willing to tell the truth whether it is popular or not. Given my life experiences and my willingness to fully address contentious and difficult issues, while effectively communicating the truth and the direction of the County, I believe that reasonable members of the opposite political party will feel comfortable coming out of the woodwork and supporting my proposals. Most Americans, and likely many in Congress, are tired of the polarization and rancor which has been caused, promoted, and abused by certain leaders of the political parties.
