..but I think most of us would prefer some level of compromise and sense.

But that's kind of the point. Fox News does not advocate for compromise and sense. They advocate for the exact opposite - hyper partisan conservative politics. The more hyper partisan the better.

In fact, you could probably draw a direct correlation from the beginning of Fox News (when such things such as compromise actually existed) to today's current dysfunctional state in which compromise is seemingly impossible. Donald Trump is President. Mitch McConnell leads the Senate. There will be no coming together on any issue with this current alignment.

Fox News and other RW media are greatly responsible for what we are now seeing. Why feed that beast? They can't be reasoned with at this point.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
