All three men had serious political differences and yet they could respect the other's point of view and not make it personal or about race, religion, or class.
I've never had a job in politics but can imagine how incredibly tough it must be. Just having a discussion online about politics or at Thanksgiving dinner is almost impossible. As a politician, you have to live with a broad swath of the public believing terrible things about you.
It was very inspiring, at least to me, to hear political opponents acknowledge their differences but respect and admire each other. Your thoughts.
