High road?
They tried to kill him? What high road is available here?
It’s one thing for smears, bribery of federal agents, etc…, to take the high road (to a degree), but when the opposition wants to and is willing to use deadly force, you better be ready to leverage your platform and megaphone however possible.
I can’t understand how some people don’t grasp this basic concept: when fighting in a dirty fight, which politics have always been, you better be ready to fight dirty because the stakes are life/desth.
