political edging

Political edging is the practice of enjoying taking yourself, or being brought, to the point where you think an election is almost over, and a candidate is about to be chosen, then stopping or being stopped, before reaching the peak in which a candidate would be chosen.
This week has been fodder for the political edging I like to do at least once very four years.

political football

an issue presented by one party or the other that is not a political issue at all, yet is tossed around by politicians to gain sway or distract voters from the REAL issues. Abortion, DACA, and gay rights to name a few.
Republicans throw around their abortion argument like a political football to prevent real discourse on reproductive rights for women. Democrats toss around this political football in their own right, resulting in neither talking about reproductive rights in general, but rather a personal religious belief.
