Thanks for setting me straight. Democrats are perfect and Republicans are evil (at least on a national, public level).

Why must everything be extreme?

Edit: I'm talking about accountability, and you're making it about good and evil. Chill out. And furthermore, prove me wrong.

Trump is an anomaly. There has never been a president like him. We’ll likely never see another candidate like him again. I personally wish he would exit stage left, but it looks like we will have at least another 2 years of media frenzy over Trump.

Just goes to show you that neither side has a lock on good behavior. There is bad behavior on both sides.

Sure, as if nobody has ever called Lina Hidalgo “Dora the explorer”

No the democrats have enough people running media that when the democrats do wrong it is glossed over by the major media outlets save for the handful of conservative ones. when a conservative messes up, those same major media outlets will pump what they did wrong nonstop but make excuses for democrats.

like even with your post, you wanted to act like only democrats hold themselves accountable which is a flat out lie. It is like saying democrats are not racist. I dealt with more racism moving to an extremely liberal area than I did living in a conservative one.

Just follow the money.

The contributors say more about a candidate than any paid PR campaign.

Looks like the real estate people are betting the R candidate will permit more building in the flood plain.

Will Houston and Harris county need a no fracking vote like the one in Denton that governor said as against state law?

If you read my post, you will see the point I was making is that it occurs on both sides. Name calling and personal insults is a time honored tradition in American politics. I mean the current occupant of the White House has called Trump supporters fascists. No matter how you slice and dice that one, we should all agree that's over the line (I suspect you will find a way to defend it though). I would much rather be compared to a likeable and intelligent cartoon character than a fascist but to each his own.

That's hilarious,
when you call names, you can't be setting rules ... you call names, don't complain when people call you names.
