You know....
These people, all of these people in politics really actually like each other a lot more than it would appear.
It is the nature of the beast to appear as mortal enemies, but frankly that are all American and all patriotic American.
The Obama's now hug the Bush's.
Bill and Hillary did go to the Trump's wedding, drank and toasted together, and I'm sure all had a very good time.
Senator Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani did actually work together for the good of New Yorkers and achieved many good things working side by side.
To the outsider, one would get the impression all of these politicians despise and hate each other and if given the chance would cut the others throat, or at least arrest and lock the other up.
But that is just not how it really is.
They really do like each other, outside of the world of publicity and politics.
You could even think of them as family to one another.
Something about this process does bring out the worst in people, at least it appears that way to us looking in. But down inside after the cameras are turned off and the speeches all end, they are all dear dear friends to one another.
Oh yes they truly are....
Something with politics brings out the worst in people.
And as bad as that might appear to be over here, it is much worse in other countries. Just look at the British Parliament.
They actually toss chairs, scream and shout, and throw punches.
So, as bad as it might appear to be here, it could be much worse.
But this hatred and the red faces are mostly all just for show.
People believe in what they see and hear, and we think WOW, Obama must really hate and despise George Bush. Then time goes by and we see Michelle Obama singing, dancing, hugging George Bush all hand in hand standing side by side, and people think WTF?
I thought these people all hated each other?
So it is simply the nature of the beast.
If Trump wins, he is not going to have Hillary locked up.
Sorry red necks.
And if Hillary wins, she could eventually hire the Trump and his corporation to do repairs on the Whitehouse. Or Hillary and Bill might show up golfing on one of those luxury Donald Trump golf courses, or show up spending the night in one of those luxury Trump high rise hotels.
So.... take all this politics hubbub with a grain of salt.
It's all just politics.
Presidents, all presidents past, present and future, can and will work together.
We see them on airplanes together, all big smiles, headed for some humanitarian world cause.
Or laughing together at some charitable fund raiser.
Even as bad as Richard Nixon was, tricky Richard stood right there side by side, hand in hand, with his political foes whenever asked and for whatever the good cause.
I guess the only real fools are us, we the schmucks that take all this so seriously.
If Hillary and Donald sat down together in a room, with no press, no camera, no mic's, people would be totally amazed at the love, respect, and admiration Donald and Hillary would show toward one another.
As well as the families.
After all, who knows better than the politician on how hard all this political stuff is?
The terrible toll it takes on the candidate and the family.
All the stress and sleepless nights just running around to earn a vote, raise some cash, and make the speech.
This is a club of sorts and they are the members,
Birds of a feather.
They and only they know the burden and the hard work involved.
And they do like, respect, admire, and yes even love their opponent despite how it might appear to the outsider.
To the voter trying to decide.
We are the true outsiders, they are not.
They have everything in common. The know the pain each one suffers on the campaign trail.
So when you see Trump going off on Hillary or Hillary calling Donald unqualified, or Trump calling Hillary "such a nasty woman", it's all with love, admiration, and in good fun.
Maybe we don't see that, but they sure feel that.
