A Quotable Line
CNN has selected what it considers to be the most quotable line from President Biden's speech yesterday on the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol.
"You can't love your country only when you win."
Trump has failed to understand that and he continues to whine that the election was stolen from him. By contrast, the CNN commentator quotes Al Gore at length when Gore lost on a Supreme Court decision for how to count Florida votes. Gore was gracious in defeat and pledged to support George W. Bush for the good of the country. He could have thrown a tantrum and refused to concede, but he didn't. From any perspective, Gore was a patriot at that hour. Trump has given patriotism a bad name by calling on the public to support his contention that he won instead of Biden. Trump is a sore loser and should never have entered politics. It is sad that even now Republicans continue to support him.
