Shame hes not able to. Hope its a peaceful ending.
Didnt like most of his policy positions. But, never doubted his patriotism or love of country.

(6,377 posts)Like you said, I didn't like much of what he did as a politician. But I'll never forget when he stole the mic away from that woman at one of his rally's when she started talking garbage about Obama and told her that she was being ridiculous.

But I respect how he didn't go dirty against Obama.
