So, this is my political expression for the day:

President Trump seems to have a pretty balanced opinion poll base.

One fourth of the voters would never acknowledge or admit it, even if he did something exceptionally wonderful. They have no desire to accept or work with him whatsoever. They hate him.

One fourth of voters would never admit they were disappointed in him, even if he did miss the mark and get it wrong. He is their designated Savior and beyond reproach. They love him.

One fourth of voters understand that voting for a president, any president, means taking a risk. There will be good and bad with all. One man's gain is another man's loss. One man's freedom will cancel out another's. One man's solution is another man's demise. One man's ideal administration is yet another one's curse.

Is it any wonder that we fight so passionately for what we believe in? Both sides are prone to tunnel vision. We all fail. We definitely need each other. We will either humble ourselves and admit this, or we will certainly be humbled by those true enemies who delight in our time of division because as we become more splintered and fragmented .... they take on a great advantage.

The final fourth of voters understand that every four years we have a new election and even though it is hard to ride out four long years with someone you don't like .... someone else did just exactly that, (four to eight) years, previously.

I find myself in all four categories. Number one describes me, unfortunately, with Mr. Obama. Number two, I have to be careful NOT to fall into this trap because Donald Trump cannot save himself, let alone our nation. Number three is where I want to be. Trusting God with my choice as well as somebody else's. Number four is simply the truth. I want to remain open to the truth because if I deny someone else's freedom to choose a president, I deny my own.

I still choose democracy, which means sharing the power to govern, over the other choices of socialism and communism. It's not perfect but there's a reason why so many want to come to our country. There's a reason why so many want to take it out, as well. That's the reason we all should agree to put aside our differences and find enough common ground to begin working things out, together. The price of working together for understanding among ourselves is much less expensive than the price of loosing it all.
