7. I grew up in the town where he first ran for mayor so I have been watching him for a long time

He was a politician whom I thought would never be bought, but obviously, everyone has their price. His life of poverty in the 80's didn't help much. After he stood up to some very powerful special interests when Mayor of Cleveland, he's been knocked down in every way possible - politically and financially. He's an example of what happens to people who try to govern by principle and social justice - they are either made poor, humiliated or killed or all three. Great land we live in huh?
