He was also had personal integrity, something that's sorely lacking in most politicians today, and something that's completely nonexistent in the leftists currently holding this country hostage.
The well known story of his failed attempts at farming and business are well known: What's less well known is that he refused to accept bankruptcy, and eventually paid back any debt accrued in his failed attempts. He also served honorably as an officer in WW I, and was well loved by his men.

That’s all well and good. What I’m saying is that the very qualities which now endear him to people, like his home-spun book-learnin’, would be used to denigrate his intelligence were he a Republican. Which he might as well have been according to today’s standards, sad though in some respects that is.
