Sticks and stones

When I was a child, I was taught the mantra: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” This would be good advice for current politicians to take. The Harris/Biden exchanges and now the Trump/ female freshmen Congresswomen exchanges continue to create a feeding frenzy for the news media.

In the long run, though, they are of little meaning. The task of these Democratic women politicians—and all Democratic candidates—is to demonstrate how Trump’s is a failed presidency. How the American citizenry is not better off and how America is faltering.


Moderate Republicans and evangelical Christians have to see that they have given up their integrity and dignity to support Trump. Democrats have to convince voters that their beliefs and programs can truly change lives for the better.
