We have nothing to lose by asking and seeking to understand what lies beneath the anger, and what will make it go away.

On Wednesday after the election, America and Americans will have one of its greatest opportunities to test its object constancy.

Could Trump be just what civil society needs to resurrect itself from profanity, vulgarity, insensitivity and impatience that can often escalate to violence?

Have we reached such a point of incivility that a sincere, heartfelt, remorse filled apology is an idea whose time has come and gone?

Had Donald Trump gone too far? Is he unforgivable? Is there anything he can do to earn forgiveness. The 4 H's and 4 R's represent his best chance.

The best leaders make great judgment calls with regard to: strategy, people and crisis. This is a great opportunity to "ready test" candidates Trump and Clinton on judgment

What if a President Trump releases his taxes and what he's hiding is so reprehensible—but legal—and we just have to live with it?

What if the Presidential debates could be cleansed of persona and personality and see what content shows through.

By doing unto the GOP, what the GOP has done unto the Democrats for decades, Trump might actually be the catalyst that ends divisiveness. Who knew?

If you haven't said or done anything intentionally to hurt someone, are you responsible when they feel hurt by what you said or did?

If after putting all your trust, believe, confidence and hope in Trump, that he turns out to have duped you, you will be worse off than you were before.
