text: O my gosh!  You are using the same tactics as he does?! I am so sorry, I thought I we had already ruled those tactics out.  You got me on that one.  Perhaps I need to heed my own advice concerning assumptions about where people are coming from in their argumentation.  Let me be clear that I do not give President Trump a pass on childish name calling, but at the same time I think it is pointless to use the same tactics against him.  This simply serves to reduce the intellectual level of the debates.  For all his flaws, and they are considerable, he does have some good ideas.  Given the fact that the electorate gave us 2 sub-par choices as candidates, Americans were forced into perhaps an historically bad situation. So, this is what we must work with. I believe that we need to do the best we can in the next 4 years instead of unleashing an unrelenting barrage of negativity & hostility toward the man. The once honored media is now a caustic rumor mill that many no longer believe or trust.
