I'll add a story as well. There's a guy in NE Mpls who owns a couple of 'ok' tobacco stores with 'ok' humidors in the them. There close to my house, and I never used to mine buying an 858 maduro from him just for the right to sit and smoke. One day, the owner comes around. This guy owns various businesses all through NE. He starts chatting me up about whatevers on the television which I'm not watching. Something comes on that triggers politics for him. The first thing out of his mouth just blew me away.
"This guy is going to be our president. This guy... We would have hung him 50 years ago. Now, he's going to be president."
I couldn't even believe this guy was talking to me. And, just to make it very clear, he wasn't insinuating 'how amazing' it was that 'this guy was going to be president.' He was in a state of obvious disgust. He went on... and on... and on.... Then stopped. I just sat there in near shock and told him, "Well, I don't agree with anything you've just said... and yeah, he is going to be our next president."
Here's the clincher to this story, and on my grandfather's grave, all of this is true. I get a call just before the last set of debates. The 'blanks' are holding a debate watching party and want to know if I'm interested in attending. The event is being held at 'blank restauarant'. Now, this was going to be a big affair. The restaurant is owned by the same man who owns the tobacco store and made the comments about hanging the future president. I shared this with the folks on the phone. I asked to speak with their team leader or whoever the f... was running this thing. Everyone I talked to told me they were shocked to hear this, and that 'the owner' was a tremendous supporter... They didn't believe me.
A tremendous supporter... I thought I was losing my mind.
That day in his store, I saw who he really was. With the campaign, he found a way to make some money. That's also who he is. A slimy f'ng hustler.
