Quit Fighting, Already

I'm tired of headlines that read, "Smith, Jones Spar At Debate."

First, it raises unrealistic expectations. The only thing I can think of that would be more entertaining than hitting a politician would be kickin' back, eatin' popcorn and watching two or more of them smack each other around. If that happens, my money's on Hillary.

Secondly - and this is important - political leadership shouldn't be about fighting. I don't want any more arguments. I want solutions. I don't want to feel good about my candidate "beating up" someone else. I don't want to hear any more shouting.

I want quiet, reasonable people to talk to me like an adult. Is that so goddamned much to ask? Why is this so impossible?
