    Lisa hopes that "other parties / people" may appear more reasonable
(than the Republicans). Does that mean, Lisa, that you are preparing
to support Clinton and the Democrats as "more reasonable"? Does it also
mean that you are prepared to back parties on their "reasonableness"
rather than on whose interests they represent, pretend to represent, or
oppose?
     I hope not.
