I agree with much of what you are saying. Just like the abortion issue, neither side wants a solution. It wasn't even a partisan issue until they saw the controversy over Roe and decided to use it. There was a leftwing commentator criticizing a speaker at the RNC for pointing out that the majority of black students can't read at a proficient level and declaring the need for improvement in public education. Seriously? It is sad that the American people cannot come together and demand better from the government.
November is also a concern of mine. There are a lot of moving parts and we can always expect dirty pool.
Vance, I'm not sure about. I'd rather have seen him than Rubio. Who would you have liked to see as VP pick?
