Moderate political members are the best.

Not really.   I wish Mitt Romney would stay another term or be president.   I hate maga idiots and prefer old school GOP.   One of my most respected and favorite political party members is John McCain. 

The new democrats are too woke and the new Republicans are too crazy.   Sad times ahead.

As far as I'm concerned, personal characteristics and flaws (we all have them) does not factor in how well a person does their job.

I worked in construction for over 30 years.  I've worked beside complete assholes only because they are the best on the job in what they do.  After work I wouldn't touch them with a 10' pole.

And believe me, we made no secret about it.  We knew where we stood.  At work, and at play.

And of course we have those who suck not only at their jobs but also in their personal lives.

Now if only people would vote accordingly, then I think we would have better leaders out there.

Clue me in on how to tell the difference between a maga idiot and an old school GOP person.

I need to know what to call myself.

I’ve got to disagree with you there.  Character matters, especially in politics.

I'm gonna have to use the popular "swooosh" term here.  Of course character matters.  Maybe I didn't word my post well enough.

Your post was worded fine.  You never once stated, implied or in any way eluded to anyone's character not mattering.

Your post was about personality, not character. 

Personality determines how a person is perceived by others -- i.e. how likable others think you are.

Character has more to do with morality and integrity.

You can be be the coarsest, most abrasive and least likable person on the planet, but if you conduct yourself with integrity and a deep sense of what's right and wrong, your character should be judged favorably.

For instance, the guy in accounting might be the least friendly, most opinionated and least sociable person at work.  But, if his values keep him honest and his work unimpeachable, then his character is beyond reproach regardless of his personality.

You appear to draw a distinction between character and how someone treats, and/or acts around, other people.  How one interacts with others is part of their character, in my opinion.

Opinions vary.

Be honest.  The only reason you hate her is because she has an "R" by her name.  She didn't have to do anything else.

You're only commenting here to gloat.

Trump has so poisoned the well that anyone who dares criticize him gets labed a RINO. Which is of course ironic since Trump is hardly a real republican.

Are you saying cheating on your spouse isn't a good enough reason to not want her to be elected again?

Truer words may never have been spoken.

Also, opinions are like assholes.  Everybody’s got one, and most of ‘em stink.
