This picture captures paradox of modern politics. We long for decency & civility but also shun dynasties and status quo. pic.twitter.com/xT4ApNms4I

Pick the person(s) you support in this photo and behave like them. We can disagree politically and acknowledge we’re all Americans first. https://t.co/B2vbRgnSmM
