I would not be impacted in any way. I am not a snow flake, soft, weak or irrational just because I disagree with a given politician. I think anyone who would be so impacted, should seek professional care.

Considering Obama's other pick, Sotomayor, maybe blocking his nomination was a good thing.

How any one can even entertain the thought or be so upset just because someone walked into a restaurant is beyond me.

I would understand if it was the person who sexually abused you, killed a family member or got you fired from your job of 30 years, but a politician? Damn that's weak.

If it were a Starbucks, I'd tell the barista that SEN McConnell made me uncomfortable and I wanted her to ask him to leave immediately.

Not much kills my appetite, and I'm not one to make a fuss in public (outside of an organized demonstration).

But I'd probably give him the stink-eye.

Im sure that you would.

No, most people would scowl, gripe under their breaths or pretend they didn't see him.

Why? Because most people are at least semi rational.

I detest Trump, Holder, Lynch, Hillary Clinton, Waters, Lee, Cruz, Cheney, etc. If any or all of them walked in and sat at the table next to mine I would do my best to ignore them and finish my meal. Why? Because that is what rational people do.

Rational people don't make scenes because they disagree with someone else's politics. Most of us understand that people should be allowed to go out and eat in peace.

Which is a normal and rational response.

There are a lot of paper tigers talking smack about what they would do, we all know they wouldn't do squat.

No, of course not, what a silly question.
