It is the center of go set a watchman. Tell us what you find. Guest you find a town that hasnt changed much from the description of macomb in to killing a mockingbird. There was a time when the town council was going to tear down the court house because they built a 1960s court house and thought they didnt need the old one. Now it has been restored. When you walk in it is like a church. People talk in hush tones take their hats off, it is a shrine. There is reconstructed home. Host the boundary walls and bricks are there.

And the other thing i was thinking about watching your coverage. Weve all been watching these conventions. You said something last night about how rare it is to have the challenger creditably take the high ground of patriotism from an incumbent president with the trappings of the white house. I thought that was so striking when you think about what were living through. Well, and Donald Trumps actions match it every day. He talks about his people and his voters, and the whole sort of corruption of the Postal Service was designed to deprive access to mailin ballots. Not from his voters but to anyone who might not vote for him. So his actions give us more evidence thats
