It's all about getting back at the opposition for the last time they were in control.
Both sides do it and it's why we're never going to get anywhere.

And neither did not even giving a chance to Garland, and don't jump on me. I added that to give credibility to what you say.
We seem to be so enamored with celebrity (see last two elections) and so much less to character and leadership in ALL (not just presidential) elections.
I recal even a number of years ago back North sitting with a candidate for office, and as he was editing a speech, he noted and I am para phrasing him....it's a shame I have to eliminate reference to issues, and spend so much time on them liking me...
Promises are not required to win anymore. This forum is a great example....Syria, immigration POLICY, Iran POLICY, tax reform, etc etc are not important. Your image, not your leadership is what counts.
A young very new senator wins.....a person who has done nothing for the country both get elected because of what they say and how they say it..
Try engaging in a conversation on this forum about policy and issues. Nobody holds our elected officials accountable..just win.
