43. MIddle ground? Looks like instead the discussion went straight to
polarization. A few thoughtful comments, a few comments (still thoughtful but not on topic), a few backhanded insults and lots of high fives. Just another day in GDPRimary... where pouring the fuel on the flames to ensure that in the end folks will be so disgusted with one another that they won't be willing or able to do the yeoman's work of getting the eventual nominee (whoever that may be) elected. Pete I don't think this was your intent, but it was predictable. Nobody wants to take any ownership of how their own behaviors effect the dialogue... nobody wants to attempt to empathize the views of the others - but lots of people like to 'mindread' by putting their (often derogatory) spin on their own interpretation of what are the views and intents of others.
