No...
I never expected him to...
And you did?
But I don't remember either Shirley Chisolm or Jesse Jackson doing that either!
So, what sort of standards are you expecting folks clamoring to win elected offices to be judged worthy of our votes, bro?
I'm guessing mine are probably a tad bit different than yours...
Anyway...
Holla back...
Whenever, bro...
FYI...
Later...
Peace...
