Picking the Best People = Building the Best Team

 People with skills and talents to get the job done, who aren't afraid to tell the truth.  People who refuse to "go along to get along".  People who refuse to continually "take one for the team." People who know their worth doesn't mean having to "pay their dues" like hazing rituals.  People who aren't willing to compromise their gifts to ... "get in".

Stories like this which tell us to vote for a Turnip -- look away at the performance; he's "one of us" -- are why our country is where it is right now.  They didn't speak out, they kept quiet, they rode the tides that lifted an awful lot of big boats while others were getting swamped...

Now they want to pretend Americans have no choice but to stay true blue to this coalition?

No, we want more. We deserve better. We're worth it.
