It's a shame! Ted has some very high standards that this country sadly has forgotten. He COULD HAVE BEEN THE MAN tonight if he had said that things said in the middle of a battle for the most highly prized positions in the world, are simply that, words said in momentary lapse into hate and aggression! If he would have said he understood why and what Trump said and did, and being a STRONG CHRISTIAN, forgave him for his FAULTS, and endorsed him over the known, LIAR, CORRUPT, CRIMINAL, MURDEROUS BITCH, HE would have stolen all the THUNDER and APPLAUSE, especially if he went up on stage and shook Trumps hand!
Unfortunately, he didn't use his POLITICAL head but his PERSONAL ANGER and disappointment! Perhaps that will change in the next few months, it would be nice to think so!
Not personal anger, Trump embodies few, if any, Conservative values. If I could vote, I'd feel like I was throwing away my dignity to vote for Trump.
