Coming back to sanity?

There are two stories out today, telling of Senator John McCain backing off his call for the repeal of the 14th Amendment , thankfully, and a GOP candidate backing away from his original call for repeal of the 17th Amendment. Thank goodness. Could we all just calm down and back away from irrational, emotional absurdity and get back to a) accepting that we're all Americans--including not demonizing one another--b) agreeing that we need to define and prioritize our problems and issues and then c) discussing--again, calmly, unemotionally and rationally--what possible solutions we do have and that are available to us? Is it too much to ask? Can't we all just get along? Have a great weekend, y'all.
