About an hour ago I went to this event on campus: Seeking Bipartisanship, a lecture by Ray Lahood, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation. It wasn't very long, and it was kind of interesting. LaHood talked about how a lot of times things happen despite partisanship because there are people who want to get things done and will do what it takes to make that happen. He spoke a little about how there's a lot of voter unrest because Congress doesn't seem to have that attitude these days - that's why so many people are voting for Trump.
Now, I don't intend to support Trump come Election Day - not with all the violence and hatred he incites - but I can kind of understand now why people admire his drive. He says he'll get things done, and people appreciate that. I figure I can respect that without liking the rest of him.
Did any of you guys go? What did you think?
I was busy at the time, but I was in the basement of Furth, and there are places in the basement where you can hear the events going on upstairs. I heard a bit of it, and it sounded really interesting. Thanks for giving me a better picture of what happened.
