    Which part? There are multiple politicians who have said Climate change will kill everyone in 12 years, fear. There were multiple “Bush did 9-11” theorists in main stream media, fear. Some of the biggest applauses in the DNC debates have been nothing but Trump bashing, every day on this site theres a lot of, “Trump Supporters this, Trump supporters that, they’re all sheep, or whatever else”. For years this cyclical fear and hate mongering has happened heck It may be at an apex now, and Trump like I said is pushing those buttons hard, but he is certainly not the start of it, and getting rid of him wont just magically heal all the division either it will just make the side your on feel better, while the other sides assumes the position you and others and even myself has had. We do not have a single candidate currently that includes Trump who is at all interested in trying to bring the two sides together.

    A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step... it's not realistic to expect anyone to 'fix it' altogether, but it is possible to improve on the current situation. And I totally disagree if you are claiming that none of the candidates available would improve the situation. I'd say all of them would (including the 3rd party candidates and the non-Trump republicans).

    Improve the situation, maybe. Im not sure. Improve it for some, and not for others.

    So, you aren't sure if anyone could be less divisive than Donald Trump? Really?

    Not really. It cuts the true list way short. He's actually done a lot more damage than that. For instance, think of all the damage to the environment.
    Did you know that he got a Federal judge appointed who had never tried a case in court before in his life. Yep, not any kind of court whatsoever. Federal judges are appointed for life. The guy had never even tried a case in traffic court. This is an indicator of the kind of damage he's doing to our Federal courts.

    Hmmm.....not so sure. Folks in here would then begin to miss threads like THIS, which, BTW, you never bothered responding to. :cleanup:

    I agree completely. And I'm sure there are even more examples that could be listed other than Cup's and yours.

    No, Im not sure anyone will be, not could be. Of course they could be, but Im not sure any of them are all that interested in being less divisive.

    Actually I DID respond to the THREAD and then I responded to YOUR post which was actually OFF topic and your first post was a video of Christopher Walken having a fever. Boy that was sure on topic wasn't it? If you really want the house maid to clean up this thread, maybe you should start with many of your posts. I figured as much you wouldn't take the bet. :bwpopcorn:

    based on what? I have heard many of them say we need to get back to being a united country. I haven't seen trump make any attempt to unite and instead at almost every interview he tries to push the divide even further by calling the democrats the "do nothings". Maybe he should check with Moscow Mitch and all the bills that sit on his desk that he refuses to bring to a vote that have already passed in the house. He was also the person that said one of his proudest moments was blocking Obama from getting anything passsed (yes, he actually said that). How does that bring about unity? Have you heard any democratic politician talk about a civil war if a dem doesn't get elected? I have heard trump and some of his administration make those comments. The candidates may not be able to do it either, but I am more than willing to give them the chance as we know what we have now and can't see anything being worse for uniting this country.

    Exactly as I just touched on a handful to make a point and even said that as I know there is a much longer list that can be shown if someone wanted to take the time, but how many does anyone have to list to have an impact?

    Actually, no...you never did respond to that thread. Apparently, you missed the hyper-link. That's not too surprising, though. As to the wager, it's really kind of a silly offering. Care to up that ante? I then might consider.

    whatever you want to think, but you are wrong. You have my offer. Take it or leave it.

    I think your pessimism is going to turn out to have been unjustified.

    I'm wrong about you not responding the other thread, or about Trump, or both?

    You are wrong about a lot of things but not worth it to go into.

    Have a nice day.

    When we were at our FL beach house in October, we were a bit surprised to find that one of our previous guests had left this large bottle of bourbon behind. I'm more of a beer drinker, so I had no idea about its quality. However, my brother-in-law told me it's pretty darned good. Might have to take you up on that bacon/bourbon gravy. Do you have a good recipe?
