I went to a town hall that was held in iowa … he was taking questions from the audience and I had the opportunity to ask if he would work to bring it back.

He was surprised by my question and said he had not thought about it, but he would do some studying about it.

I never knew what the resolution was for him. I am not certain that it is really on anyone’s radar.

Sigh
