Meanwhile trump and the rest of the republican presidential candidates look like the insane clown posse with their stupid rhetoric. (Apologies to the band insane clown posse)

(67,782 posts)Sorry, too tempting.
Back 30 years ago I had a job that found me traveling to Chicago about once every 4 weeks for more than five years. I really got to love Chicago and almost knew it better than NYC where I lived at the time.
Our offices were in Carol Stream and St. Charles.

(175,755 posts)I've been to Carol Stream and St. Charles, though. I used to live on the Far North Side, a few blocks from Lake Michigan. Lake Shore Drive has to be one of the most spectacular roadways anywhere.

(20,043 posts)He looks so tired. Even if he could run again, I don't think he would. Why would he subject himself & family to that abuse?
He's represented this country with dignity and grace. Thinking about anyone from the clown car coming in after him makes me

(80 posts)he kept his dignity throughout all of the GOP disgraceful tactics. He deserves so much respect for how he dealt with these clowns over the years.

(3,580 posts)By the time the GE came along I was convinced he was the best person for the job. He exceeded my expectations. So grateful inspite of all the obstruction he continues to lead us in difficult times. I would vote for him again.
