My only wish is that there would be more lifting up and less tearing down. More analysis of how a candidate or the party can unite and do battle against GOPers and oompa-loompah would be a good thing.

The intensity is due, in part, to the desperation and frustration of the dire national and global threats we face. All skeletons will be dragged from every closet and rattled as warnings of doom. Let us try to not make these self-fulfilling prophesies. Restraint can improve our chances of making things better rather than worse.
