23. Hate is always both destructive and self-destructive.

I have already trashed and, for quite some time, not gone near the Sanders Group and the GDP Forum.

However, it was the candidate himself who stoked the hatred in many of his followers. They are not all paid trolls. And he is not an innocent politician. His hatred for Democrats has been brewing for many years.

I feel sorry for his followers. I hope they get better on their own, since their leader isn't helping very much.

I will not stop criticizing him until he decides to behave like a responsible adult. Having followed his character and behavior during this primary, I am not optimistic that he is even capable of changing course. This is not your usual political contest.
