Another Debate: Can You Feel The Love?

This is what I don’t understand.

For weeks, the Democrat presidential candidates call each other on their political differences as well as their misstatements and downright lies. They criticize each other’s mannerisms, acquaintances, and unleash their family members to launch attacks as well. I don’t know about you, but if someone called me a liar, the last thing we would have is a civil discussion on the issues.
