he didn't give last night. He's begging McConnell and Ryan to repudiate Trump. Says they aren't doing it as a result of political expediency. Terrific!

targeted by Trump. They show great dignity in the face of Trump's dangerous buffoonery.

This is the kind of thing that should haunt the Republicans or Democrats that send our troops to war.

I can only wish that I had this kind of strength in me...

I have never seen a better example of testifying of one's loss to teach others how to be better. Unbelievable.

That was the most sincere call to reason I have heard in so long. I really hope that spreads far and wide and is not forgotten or overlooked in all of the election drama.

And it was powerful to watch. He can have Tony Schwartz back another time for a longer talk. The Khans were worth every moment and more.
