2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI was just thinking of Mr. Khizr Khan at the convention
I was remembering his speech, one of most ( perhaps the most) powerful, brilliant and tragic moments in any convention.
When I heard it I felt it was the moment Hillary won the presidency. It was a feeling that went deep down, a feeling strong in every fiber of my being...
Now, tonight, I'm wondering g how much pain he is in. My heart is breaking for him, for me, for all of us here.
Oh, Mr Khan, your crime was speaking with a foreign accent. Only the suffering of white parents of heroes count.
Mr Khan, my thoughts are with you today and tomorrow. You are a hero to me.

(305,559 posts)don't take the truth about him.. like from the Kahns to heart.
Hillary did get almost 3 Million more votes, though.. and didn't lose by that much in the states she needed to win.
