One thing that annoys me is the constant "putting down" of opponents.
According to a book on Bush's advisor Karl Rove (the book is called 'Bush's Brain'😉, he "early on determined that the best way to defeat the Massachusetts senator, or any other Democrat, was to lacerate the other guy until he was no longer perceived as a credible option."

But then the media has long ago picked up on this propensity for peopel to be critical on others. That is why our news is the majority of the bad things that happens.
