I think something else that is missing many times in polictical dicussions especially lately is the fact that if one wishes for thier opinions to be considered valid and respected you have to do the same for the opposing view. It is not a one way street. One view can not be the only valid view.

Nothing to me proves this point more than Hillary Clinton. Many voters thought she was the devil incarnate and still do and yet the most important person in the US thinks she qualifies for one of the most respected politicial positions in the world.
