Well there’s that but I’m talking about individual character traits. The older Bush, Dole, and McCain for example, I admire the hell out of the lifetime they had in public service and their war record. H.W. Bush was only 19 years old when he was a naval pilot and didn’t use the fact that he was the son of a corporate big shot to get him any favors. W Bush, as a baseball fan, I appreciate that I could probably have a good talk with him on baseball and I think W Bush was inclusive in his belief in the American dream for people of all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.

That, too. My point was that they had records of service, voting records and policy decisions that you could agree or disagree with, but they served as a point of reference. Trump had no record of public service and refused to release his tax returns to give us any insight into his record of private service.
