3. Yes I agree. Jerry knows that compromise to move ahead is needed and it works.

I have met him over the years a few times in NYC as you say the least pretentious person
simply the best.

And knows that 10% advancement is a helleva lot better than 100% of nothing and he doesn't whine, he knows if he dont' get it, he tries again, sometimes from a different angle, sometimes wording things just right to achieve what he is going for(again the many steps ahead foresight that the great ones have) and sometimes taking a hit (ropeadope) to know it will be overturned or the courts will rule etc.

All political people should be that way. That is how it was thought of.
No ulterior motives
Keeping the eye on the prize

I voted for him each time I had the opportunity to do so.
And I donated money each and every time to his campaign.
