I’m a [your political party]. My favorite politician on the other side of the aisle is…

[Anonymous]

Name him/her and why.

I’m a democrat and my favorite politician in the republican party is John Kasich. I don’t love all of his policies, but during the 2016 primaries, Kasich came across as genuine and having a heart. I look for those qualities in people – esp. politicians. I’d also invite George W to a cookout at my house – he’s a funny dude.

Just trying to simmer things down over here – words out that we’re all savages in the political forum!

I'm a Democrat. Ben Sasse isn't bothering me lately.

Left and right now (vomiting while writing this) - Lindsey Graham

"If we implemented this budget, we'd have to retreat from the world or put a lot of people at risk — a lot of Benghazi's in the making if we actually implemented the State Dept cuts," said Graham. "So this budget is not going to go anywheRe"

I'm 15:46- in the primaries I voted for Kasich hoping he would be the R nom since I figured I could live with either Bernie or Hillary but not Trump. My plan didn't work as you can see.

Graham is hot and cold. One day he will be okay and the next your standard GOP hack. Kind of like McCain.

I'm a democrat. I like:

- Olympia Snowe - She seems quite intelligent, knowledgeable and non-crazy. I admire her quite a bit.
- Mitt Romney - I only (loosely) disliked him because he was running against Obama. Very smart, good business sense.
- Colin Powell

Former Republicans:
- Wendy Davis - The epic filibuster lady with the epic sneakers. She was a Republican until 2006.
- Beth Fukumoto - Was basically outed by her Republican party very recently.

Dem here. I like Evan McMullin. I do not get the Kasich love -- he is really conservative.

Wow really?? This is an interesting thread.

I am a Democrat and I would say John McCain or Susan Collins. Can't bring myself to say Lindsay Graham even though I am respecting how he's handling the situation.

I don't know if this is also an interesting question but my least favorite politician (I'm preemptively eliminating anyone currently in the WH from the list since thats obvious) is Ryan. I can't even say how disappointed I am in Ryan. I thought he was a great choice to replace Boehner and that he was a good family guy that had a strong belief in what he personally believed was right and wrong and it really feels like he's selling his soul.

Isn't McMullin an independent? Albeit a conservative one.

Seems like a very decent chap. Questionable whether he has the fire in the belly to go much farther though.

I'm a democrat and my favorite republican will be the first one to put country above party. Still waiting to see who that will be.

Republican. I like Cory Booker.
