say anything as brilliant as that.
First, it’s not the way he thinks (I know - as if he thinks!)
Second, he couldn’ even read it even if somebody else wrote it for him.

He had conviction in his statements, they were conveyed with grace and style.

To those who will say 45 would never say that, right but even if he did the words would have no weight. He doesn’t believe that. That’s the difference.

My heart is so heavy knowing how far this nation has sunk. And many people don't even care.

“No, you certainly can’t” were his last words right before he was shot.

President Kennedy's open-top 1961 Lincoln Continental four-door convertible limousine entered Dealey Plaza at 12:30 p.m. CST. Nellie Connally, the First Lady of Texas, turned around to the President, who was sitting behind her, and commented, "Mr. President, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you," which President Kennedy acknowledged by saying "No, you certainly can't." Those were the last words ever spoken by John F. Kennedy.[

I wish we could do this, only unfortunately, there is now a large contingent that sympathize and want to emulate the actions taken in Nazi Germany and the hate & murder from Russia. I do believe there are more people who actually care about the aspirations and better values of this country, but they are not the ones in charge and way too many of us are actually the hate filled cretins' targets.
