What did Jimmy Carter and Ronald think of each other?
When the Carter P**********l Center opened in 1986, President Carter invited all living Presidents and ex-Presidents to attend. Nixon and Ford declined; Ronald Reagan accepted and gave one of the speeches at the opening ceremony. In that speech, Reagan said:
None of us today need feel any urge, in the name of good will, to downplay our differences. On the contrary, in a certain sense we can be proud of our differences, because they arise from good will itself---for love of country; for concern for the challenges of our time; from respect for, and yes, even outright enjoyment of, the democratic processes of disagreement and debate. Today our very differences attest to the greatness of our nation. For I can think of no country on Earth where two political leaders could disagree so widely yet come together in mutual respect. To paraphrase Mr. Jefferson: We are all Democrats, we are all Republicans, because we are all Americans.
Reagan then went on to praise the accomplishments of the Carter Administration, focusing on race relations, science policy, and Carter’s emphasis on human rights. He concluded:
For myself, I can pay you no higher honor than to simply say this: You gave yourself to your country, gracing the White House with your passionate intellect and commitment. Now you have become a permanent part of that grand old house, so right in tradition, that belongs to us all.
And when President Reagan died, President Carter made this statement:
Rosalynn and I join millions of people around the world who mourn the loss of President Reagan. He was a formidable political campaigner, who provided an inspirational voice to America when our people were searching for a clear message of hope and confidence. He had unshakeable beliefs and was able to express them effectively, both in America and abroad. During the past 10 years, Rosalynn and I have often conveyed to Nancy Reagan our friendship and admiration for her own great service, not only to her husband but to our nation. We extend our condolences to the entire Reagan family during this time of grief.
It may be hard to remember a time when our political leaders disagreed vehemently but maintained relationships of friendship and mutual respect. Carter and Reagan respected and admired each other; George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton became close friends; and George W. Bush and Barack Obama remain quite close. Friendship across the aisle was the norm not so very long ago.
I hope we get back to that.

And, they would NEVER have committed judicial fraud going after each other as are the democrats doing to Trump right now. The fraud case brought by Tish/Felicia James with the cooperation of the judge, Judge Engoron/Engermoron is exactly that; judicial fraud for political gain.

By principle would that require an individual to adhere to one particular political group or religion or is there leeway given ?

American by principle. An interesting concept.
What is your criteria of an American by principles? Most Americans are citizens by birth, often generations.
But not all Americans fit into the mould of the extremist far right like Nick Fuentes, who recently said that any American who is not a Christian should be exterminated.
What is your criteria?

If that is true it isn't right. We can't exterminate those who don't agree.
