It's distressing to hear you report taking major fire from Harris votaries for writing an honest analysis of her record, skills, and prospects. Way on the other side of the aisle, Jim Jordan's attack mutts are deploying not dissimilar attack tactics against House caucus members with the spine to question his suitability for speaker. We're not going to get off this paralyzed dime until we stop screaming at each other.

Here's a graphic example of the kind of threats coming from various thugs supporting Jordan/Trump. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2023/10/19/tapper-voicemail-threat-phone-call-jim-jordan-vpx.cnn

Whoever that troglodyte is, he's in line for a Republican Convention keynote slot. He's perfectly expressed the party's vision for America.

Thanks for reading Tom. Yes, Harris' votaries did not issue death threats to me, for which I suppose I should be thankful. As for the Republicans in the House, I did not think it would be possible for their brand to sink any lower, but they have succeeded, like their overlord Trump, in assuring us that there is no bottom.

For bad relations between a vp and president, look at John C Calhoun and JQ Adams. Calhoun quit and ran as VP against Adams in the next election (winning with Andrew Jackson)
