the race, the more benefits donald trump. i would also say that there is no benefit to donald trump for going after somebody as mark said, with that disposition of somebody like tim scott. people like tim scott. he s genuinely, you feel like although you may disagree with him, he is in it because he believes in what abraham lincoln called the better angels of our nature. it s very difficult to go after him. now, i think when he has people come in the race like mike pence, who i believe is getting in the race soon, or somebody like chris christie, he won t have a choice because they re gonna be throwing punches at him. i also, david axelrod said it last night, and i agree with him, i don t think that donald trump is going to engage much. i don t think he s gonna debate much. i think it would be silly for him too because he s that far ahead.
am your retribution. abraham lincoln, at a time of true crisis, with a country on the brink of civil war, appealed for all americans to be touched by what he called the better angels of our nature. towards the end of the war, he called on them to bind up the nations ones. lincoln was the first republican president in seeking to be the next republican president, donald trump promises to be an agent of vengeance. in his cpac speech he in lynching, in a moment of self pity. i didn t know that you want to lynch people for doing nothing wrong, i didn t know they want to lynch you for doing a great job, i didn t know they want to put you away because you are poll numbers are better than anybody they have seen in years. for the record, former president was not lynched. he lost. he was voted out of office. and he is not being lynched, either. he was the subject of numerous official sanctions on investigations. the irony is he did if a vice president who was being hunted by a mob, former
our lives in politics is to become president, and he reminded us it was too become more human. and those 42 years have been devoted to reminding us all, regardless of our political persuasion, of what it might be like to adhere to what lincoln called the better angels of our nature. there s no one, not even john quincy adams, who of course served his country again by going out of the presidency and then back into the house of representatives, i served his cs well in his post-presidency as jimmy carter has. and it s a sad moment, and yet it s still beautiful. he still has, doing it on his own terms, with his faith intact, with his beautiful wife of 75 years there, his family surrounded him, and you can t think i mean, i was thinking this morning and last night when i heard about it of fdr, who retired. i don t think fdr thought he was going to die at warm springs, not too far from plains, and end an era.
