“No, I don’t excuse the president’s foul mouth, rhetoric, even lies. But he has a history of doing things that progressed this country forward….
Well said. I think you have really framed the decision in a way that few others have done. Our decision in 10 days really does come down to whether we feel that the “progress” that has been made in certain policy areas are sufficient to “excuse” the vulgar, demeaning and divisive rhetoric and the seemingly nonstop lying and misstatements that have characterized the past 4 years. The majority of CR posters likely agree with you. Some of us don’t and believe that progress is possible without tearing the country apart and trashing the institution of the Presidency.
