Of course, they distorted Pence’ words...I actually think they hate him even more than they hate Trump...but I thought it was pretty inspiring overall.

I’m sure...in fact, as an historian, I know...that when Columbus was asking Isabella to fund the trip to the “Indies,” people around her were snickering and saying the Spanish equivalent of “nah, he’s a nutcase and besides, who needs to go to those other places anyway.”

That part resonates with me. We have some catching up to do due to prior lack of will, funding, and inspiration. America should be unrivaled in this field.
