I look at it this way
You state (These discussions are going to have no effect on anyone’s opinion) to which I disagree. IMO there are three types of voters. one who will remain a party loyal and will not change no matter what. Another who will vote for the person they see as the best choice regardless of party and third the undecided. IMHO it will be the (undecided) that could well decide who will be our next President. So I say continue NCR political posts. There will always be those that agree, disagree and most important, those that can be swayed by an exchange of information.
