“The President of the United States of America bows to no man. You do not bow to kings. When in foreign lands, you do not criticize your own country. You do not argue the case against the United States, but, rather, the case for it.

This speech is a treasure and ought to be required reading for this president in particular, and every one that follows him. It ought to also be read by every member of congress and their staffs and every high-school student.
It is simply remarkable.
We must not let this man get lost in the noise of politics. If he is willing to run- I’d work hard to see him elected our next president. Have we ever needed men like this more?
Pence’s words are truly Lincolnesque.
Thanks, Was looking for this.
Thanks STARWISE.
