8. Another thing I have noticed...

So many of the questions asked by the press are "gotcha" questions. They ask about his haircut. They accuse him of going to Lake Geneva over the holiday. They try to throw in misleading statements about the prisoner releases.

He handles all of these questions with grace and professionalism. Can you imagine trump responding to the same questions?

I met JB very early in his bid for governor, and have interacted with him many times since. It was a bit of a wild season. We did not have quite as many Democrats running for the governor's seat as for the Presidency, but there were still several! His campaign was professional, and self-financed from day one.

I have to say that he can be very short with people when he is tired. I have witnessed it. That is why I respect the professionalism of his pressers. He has another side.

He did not sign up for this when he sought office! Of course, none of us signed up for it.

Forgive my ramblings. JB is one of the few bright spots in this whole nightmare.
