But, we have done it before and we can do it again. While we all don't support the same candidate - we do all support **and love** the same country. This is the glue that binds us together. I truly believe that.

Do candidates in the US mainly trade insults? When do they talk about how they stand on issues? How does a US voter decide who to vote for when no candidate seems ideal? I could only tell him I had the same questions. Thanks for the reminder to appreciate and value the rose while watching out for the thorns.<br />P.S.
