(37 posts)He deserves to be serving his third term in the U.S. Senate!

(206,276 posts)Back in November, I was able to see him in person when his National Tour Tour came to my neck-of-the-woods! He spoke for over two hours to a sold out crowd with only a microphone, a stool and three glasses of water - he had great stories and jokes about his time in the Senate (Ted Cruz), did impersonations (Mitch McConnell) and while he was speaking drew his signature map of the U.S. for donation to a local Democratic cause. The crowd loved him and he got a standing ovation!

(206,276 posts)I wasn't sure of the seats since I'd never been at the venue before, they were in the front row on the right side, but it turned out they couldn't have been better! And the sold out crowd just loved him, got all his political references. And of course he was very funny - but I think I told you all about it later that night...
