And over here. My medic started working on it. It is okay. Two guys got hurt with me, they had been hurt, not going to solve this problem with a lot less. I never went to die but a minute and a half. My tourniquet and left leg turner kept, and two guys were fine. And a helicopter blue me out to kandahar hospital. So good at traumatic injury, leave there alive. And traumatic injury. Trying to get back up, i am mad i am lying on this bed. Jumping my chest, one guys just held me down. I can stop being afraid of showing fear. Saving private ryan, the medic yelling for his mom.

Sanders, like clinton, beats trump and ted cruz in a hypothetical contest, but unlike clinton, he beats john kasich. 46 to 44 . And yet, both sanders and kasich are getting pressured to leave the race. Sanders and hasek and kasich often out. Why isnt that argument breaking through . John this is going to be a dream for you, im going to speak as little as possible because my voice is gone. But i will say, electability is an argument that does not resonate much with voters. They all say they will elect a nominee, but what they care more about is can people get things done, what are their ideologies, their passions about issues they care about .
