knapplc Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 OK, so we have the Trump threads with all of his shenanigans, and we have the Angry Violent Right thread talking about all the conflict in the country, and those are news and we should discuss them. But maybe we need a thread where we share stuff about this country coming together. Because I don't believe that we're truly that divided. I think we have far more in common, and far more good in us, than the headlines would let us believe. So here's a good start. Beto O'Rourke just lost a tough Senate campaign to Ted Cruz. They met at the airport yesterday. 3 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Good for them - speaking of Cruz and Beto. Nice seeing the civility Hey, maybe they were really meeting to discuss a Unity Ticket in 2020 Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 GHW Bush, Clinton, GW Bush and Obama all seem to get along pretty well. But I get the feeling Trump won’t be willingly included in their club. One of my favorite video snippets is of GW sneaking a piece of candy to Michelle Obama at the McCain memorial service..

ZRod Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I've long thought that a Presidential candidate should run on a split party ticket. I think it could be a winning combination this next election if anyone has the guts to do it. It would be a great gesture of cooperation, and a sort of burying the hatchet moment. Also, as of this morning, I've come to the conclusion that the party system should be abolished. Candidates should run on their platform, not the party's. They could better serve their constituents if they are not beholden to someone else's agenda who demands they raise money to support the group or risk getting stomped on when they propose legislation. 1 Link to comment
