Tough place. I rode the high road and got knocked back down into the valley but the best thing about being in the valley is you learn when you get back up how you can do things better so it can change. I dont see it right now. I dont see it with mitch mcconnell. I dont see it with nancy pelosi. I do see hope in paul ryan.
