Our elected representatives need to avoid these types of tit-for-tat never-ending back-and-forth Twitter wars and feuds. It really accomplishes nothing meaningful. Sure, individual fans will be pumping-fists and giving high-fives... but when it comes to actually effectuating consequential change, or softening hearts and tamping down the heat... things like this never help. Nobody's mind is being changed. It's just a way to make sure the people dig-in their heels... refusing to budge or find common ground. It's just more gasoline on the fire.

All I'm trying to say is that I wish our elected representatives would stop engaging in this type of behavior and focus their attention on more vital matters. Please.

What would Obama do? What would Nancy do? What would Biden do? --- Do that.
