Thanks to @bretbaier for the fantastic conversation. We’re in the final stages of picking our next president but we’re missing the most important issue: which candidate is going to heal our divisions, prevent further violence, and solve problems with the other side. The answer is whichever candidate treats the other side with dignity.  You can score speech with us at dignityindex.us. And you can also be part of the change from a culture of contempt to one of dignty. Our country depends on it and our families do too (mine especially!)
