    The only thing they all have in common is they're well-practiced politicians pretending to be cordial. Some of them would sooner gouge your eyes out and steal your wallet if they thought they could get away with it. Others of them would prefer you be chained and grovelling at their feet, and others still just want to get the F out.

    Never noticed how short Hilary was in comparison.

    Also, this whole photo is incredibly sad in hindsight since elder Bush is now in the hospital.

    Also also, I get the feeling that Bush Jr. seems like a really fun person to be around now.

    Of course he is! You must be the only person in the world that doesn't understand that Republicans are no longer republican. He won the party fair and square... He didn't even need to collude with Russia to do that.

    Not at all. There are two serious points being made: One is that the argument "you say that because you hate Trump" is meaningless. Very few people don't hate Trump. Apart maybe from some in his most faithful deep core base. And it certainly looks like no one who knows him personally. The other is that people with radically different political views can get along. Which is something Trump doesn't get. When he disagrees with somebody, he attacks them personally. Even worse... when they disagree with him, he attacks them and treats them like his personal enemies. This picture shows that political disagreement does not justify demeaning tweets, name-calling and character assassination.

    Carter? That's the person who, to you, stands out for being absent from the photo?

    Really?

    That's who I was referring to, the second worse President in modern times.

    I suppose Jimmy didn't attend the funeral services knowing he would be gloating and having the biggest smile just by standing next to Obama.

    He didn't win over the Republican party. The tea party, many libertarians, a whole lot of people that just dislike run of the mill Washington politicians, and thousands of democrat party hillary haters are what put Trump into office and he has as many enemies in the Republican party as the Democrat party. The only difference is, the republicans in office are forced to decide whether or not to make Trump an issue in their campaign.

    They not only put him in office, they handed him the Republican Party. He says "Fetch!" and Mitch McConell and Paul Ryan stumble over each other to be the first to please their master.

    Enemies? You think Putin doesn't have enemies in his own Party? Of course he has enemies. And he knows exactly who the are. And he also knows that, if they have any political aspiration, they better not get on the bad side of his fanatics. And if they don't have political aspirations, he couldn't care less that they're his enemies.

    Everybody who knows Trump personally hates him to the core. He's used to that. He knows even his own family hates him. And he's used to that.

    I don't believe that there is a single Republican candidate who would be able to win an election without his blessing.

    He's the Republican Party now! That's reality! The sooner you old-school Republicans realize this fact, the sooner you'll start planning how to recover it.

    Wrong! Trump is sometimes attacked personally. But even when it's his actions that are questioned, he responds, not by defending them, but with personal attacks.

    Almost no one on the left criticizes trump policy without taking shots at trump or melania or barron at the same time

    You created a poisionous environment that always taints the debate
