knows Ted Cruz is an asshole. But I don't think it has to be spoken by out elected officials.

At least for me I prefer someone in leadership to speak to the issues and/or disagreements they might have with someone is a civil tone. I think this name-calling is usually associated with anger....I do it myself, but I respect and believe someone that is able to express their differences in a civil manner.

Personally I am tired of this "fight" mentality. I much prefer peace and empathy over hatred and anger - which leads to violence and has become the GOP trademark.

I like the "speak softly and carry a big stick" approach.
