Geee Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Washington Examiner: Donald Trump feuding with Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio is one thing. Bush and Rubio feuding with each other is something else. The two Florida friends — Bush was a mentor to Rubio when Bush was governor and Rubio rising in the legislature — knew a clash was coming when both chose to run for president. Now it's here, and it has the potential to get ugly in a way that only fights between friends can. It started Wednesday, when Bush, beset by falling poll numbers, answered a question from CNN about Rubio's fresh-face, new-name appeal by comparing Rubio to Barack Obama in 2008 and questioning Rubio's readiness for the Oval Office. Stressing his own leadership abilities, Bush said of Rubio's claim to be a new generation of leader, "Look, we've had a president who came in and said the same kind of thing, new and improved, hope and change, and he didn't have the leadership skills to fix things."

Seems to be today they are goaded to 'attack' one another. Even if it's not really an attack, just a discussion of differences the press loves to call it an attack. Ah, for the day when we all talk the same, think the same, and have NO differences whatsoever. I think the word for that is ---------- robots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More examples from history available on request. That said, there has been 1. a coarsening of society, 2. a shortening of attention span, 3. a ratings battle in the media. All these things IMO lead to political differences/debates becoming Texas Cage Matches...or show in the media that way. This is one big reason why DT is doing so well (and why I loath him). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 @Valin - Marco has been in my #1 slot a couple of times- of course my #1 slot is changing between about 4 or 5 people every other day.
