The maturing of the American electorate?

 IS THIS THE END OF OUTRAGEOUS POLITICAL WAR?

POLICY FINALLY WINS OUT OVER EMOTIONS

As a long time observer of politics, near 50 years, I can say much of this outrageous political war started with the Watergate scandal. While there was wrongdoing, it was way overblown and ended with the resignation of Richard Nixon, the second most hated president in modern history. Much of the hate was fostered by a complicit media, who never gave Nixon the credit as a qualified president.

The Republicans got their revenge with the impeachment of Bill Clinton, but were unable to defeat him in his re-election bid. I hope after the last 8 years of outrageous political war and over the top nonsense these tactics will be in the past. Only time will tell, we may find out within days whether these tactics will end or will we see the doubling down of failed policies.

I suspect that many Americans believe that this country is in real trouble and it is far more serious than outrageous claims of the end of democracy and outrageous lies about Trump's positions on abortion, in vitro and social security. The reality is that whether people like or dislike Trump, they do know what policies he advocates, he has been consistent for 8 years. He has also demonstrated that he has a solutions based mentality and a tenacious ability to keep on trying.

While America has many problems facing it around the world, many caused by the flawed policies of past administrations, America needs to be rebuilt at home and reunified in that effort, all Americans must realize the dangerous divisions that exist and reject those who continue to sow division for political power. We need to focus on the best interest of this country before all else. Yes, American first, is what it needed right now. 

A strong and unified America can then address the problems in the rest of the world. Many of the problems have been caused or exacerbated by U.S. policy for the last 35 years. A realization that the U.S. no longer has the wealth or ability to rule the world. We no longer are the shining example to the world, the real way that America had influence around the world, by our example, not be sanctions, threats and regime change policies. A serious discussion needs to take place on the objectives of the country and our position in the world, before the world goes up in smoke.

Anyway, that is my observation, I am sure many are ready to continue in the destructive political wars at home and abroad, I can only hope that much of the country is ready to move on to a better place.
