He left the SBC because of the lack of diversity and racism/sexism.

His morals and his heart were always in the right place.

He may be the last person in our lifetimes who had their head screwed on straight and one of the last decent Presidents (along with Clinton, Obama, Biden).

Now, we seem to be only able to elect rapacious conmen, oligarchs, and felons who are above the law and openly corrupt. And why not? There are no repercussions or accountability for it.
