Tulsi, I struggle to come up with any that are truly horrible). Yes, there are several I disagree with or wish they had more experience, or were younger, etc., but they are not corrupt, they are not stupid, they are not lacking in ideas and any one of them is a million times better than the alternative. I'm going back again to the "both sides" stuff. When we use similar language to describe both sides we're elevating the truly terrible and lowering the merely less desirable. I have definite preferences in this race and some I would be less than thrilled about voting for, but I'd rather not tear down the field just because they are not my ideal candidate.
