How about the rest of you?

Howling mob screaming your name? POTUS egging them on? Hangman’s scaffold and noose standing ready? Secret Service evacuating you and your family — then insisting you get in the car to go God knows where for God knows how long, while you say, “No thanks. Staying here.”

Thanks for your OP, eShirl. The man deserves some measure of thanks, and if it comes from the Kennedy Family, well they would know about political assassination, wouldn’t they?
