"THEY want the political process to be a "blood sport" because, being Republicans, THEY would not abide by any rules, laws or customs."

"the only thing that mattered a was winning would be the condonation and acceptance of all that Trump stands for. That's not where we want to go."

I never came even remotely close in my op to stating that is where we want to go.

"Both sides are not the same. Both sides DON'T "do it", nor should they."

Again, not sure what that has to do with anything in my op.

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