That’s what John McCain was about. We can have our differences, but be civil and kind to each other. Too bad that time has passed and hopefully will happen again when we lose that person who now occupies,the White House.

These are the kind of moments that make me so proud to have become a U. S Citizen. If only we could have that again. However, I’m hopeful for the future. #VOTEBLUE
