Joe, when my wife’s uncle, a Korean War vet and Depression era kid , a real upbeat, hail fellow well-met kind of guy once said to me in a moment of candor about a year after Obama was in office “I’ve never seen anything as bad as this’’ I said to myself’’ Nobody’s flying the plane. We’re in trouble’’.
My North Carolina born 93 year old mother passed away in winter of last year.
She was reasonably healthy and very alert even in her final years, was a life long conservative and recently a Tea Partier.
Mom was always optimistic about life, would never give up, no matter what.
I think she would have been for Cruz this year, but would have no problem supporting enthusiastically our nominee, Donald Trump.
