Thought exercise to help us appreciate the depth and breadth of our candidates

• Before we grievously wound or destroy some of our best, brightest and most promising Democrats in the circular firing squad of the debates ahead, might it help to imagine BEYOND WINNING, to the team of former rivals in the future Cabinet of whoever turns out to be our selection for POTUS and VP.

Candidates might well take gracious opportunities to celebrate the strengths, experience and competence of everyone on the debate stages. How many vacancies in the current dRumpf Cabinet; and how shallow and incompetent are most of them?

"We in these debates will be at the heart of the TEAM to deliver on our popular policies."

Just a thought before it's too late. #MacroContrast

Otherwise your point is well-taken. It should be possible to point out differences relating to issues and policies without resorting to bashing. I think most of the candidates will avoid divisive comments.
