My boss said that one candidate said one word repeatedly during the campaign that completely offended him. When I asked him what the word was, he said, “Fight.”

He followed that up with, “That man has to stop fighting. There’s been enough fighting in this country.”

I think he misinterprets what the candidate means by fight and I really don’t see how his use of that word is offensive.

My response? “I don’t want him to stop fighting. He fights for the people when no one else does. Frankly, I don’t think he fights enough sometimes. Some politicians don’t do enough of that period. Others do it for the completely wrong reasons.”

He just walked away. I think he voted for the other guy, which I expected.

Of course I thought of the best questions to ask him just a minute ago. “What do you want him to do then? Sit back and let things happen that he knows will be bad for our country?”
