He did give a good speech! I enjoyed hearing what he said and was impressed with how well he did. He's a likeable guy even if I don't agree with him politically. I'd love to just sit down and talk with him and ask him about all sorts of things. I liked how he used the line "took a good thumpin." His speechwriters have gradually learned how to help him speak like himself, which always helps him connect with the country, I think.

I do think the Repubs have been very gracious, largely. No one can ever go wrong with humility. And they've all been around long enough, just like we have, to know the pendulum swings both ways. It'll swing back in time. It always does.

Much love and peace to you, Bongster!
