There was, there was actually a lot of hope associated with your campaign, and there was a lot, there was a lot of promise that we might actually not only keep this absolute barbarian out of the White House but also we might actually make progress as a country with the type of people that we wanted to see in office and a younger, more vital, revived political consciousness in America.
