We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

I know, and senior dems pointed that out. Shortsighted liberals.
Dems could have put more pressure on moderate Republicans though. Like with Devos.
