In one way, tonight is more about JOHN MCCAIN

[Eliot Rosewater]

than you would think.

First, I am embarrassed and ashamed to admit that over the years I have shown tremendous disrespect to John, but between his defending Obama, his AMAZINGLY patriotic concession speech and then the tremendously courageous act of saving ACA, I now respect him greatly!

His legacy and his family and his STATE are a big reason why we are here....

Here's to you John!

3. I'm with you. Which is why it takes time to truly know a persons legacy.

While he was a Senator he was against much of what I was for.

But as time passed the full measure comes out. The man had principles he was willing to act on. He defended President Obama from racist attacks.

Most importantly I think he loved the nation more than anything.

He was flawed in many was. But who isn’t? Not me for sure.

I think he would be very happy today.

8. Disagree on policy. Respect the man.

He would be thrilled about this. I have no doubt.
