The two guys I wrote about are both pro-union. They both come from union (extended) families. Yet they got into a bitter fight ...... over unions. Small differences, when petty insults are added, led to a big fight. Now one just says he will never see or talk to the other, while the other is still snarling. And not that they have any serious connection other than working with me every other year on campaigns.

I have a fair understanding of human nature, and of these two's character. I don't see this becoming "water under the bridge" for at least another election cycle. And I do not think we have the luxury of not going out 100% in 2024.
