The challenge to the editors of the Globe is how not to let Trump and his weekly (ok, 3 x a week) poking of sensitive issues and intentional creation of arguments distract from an issue which is much bigger then him. He has become a red herring to so many issues that afflict our great neighbors to the south.

Gun violence, Political Lobbying and out of control Money influence in the US has cemented a mess.  Plus its has created such a polarization of politics that good people with different political philosophies and leanings cant even agree on what they agree on and then get that done. 

Its tragic. Its very sad. 

It's why i think its important to remind all Canadians that whether you are a Conservative, Liberal or an NDP er - let's remember to show respect when we oppose someone else's policies and not demonize  people who have different views.
