There is still a lot of division unfortunately but the sooner we all get on the same page, the better. I understand supporters from both sides may not support this but both of the candidates sure are and as their supporters we should start taking their advice.

And I can't find any examples either. But she has this option, which of course would immediately mark her as an incompetent boob and any chance of future office holding above dog catcher would end.
