trying to destroy each other. Every single one of them has failed on some level at something important and has faults, some more than others. It is not that anyone should avoid scrutiny or vetting. But, this kind of thing, demonizing photos like this, is not helpful for the general election.

The focus needs to be on getting Trump out of The White House.
