19. It's sad to see the fall of a man who seemed to have greatness.
The key word there is "seemed."

It's hard to believe that any person who endured what he did could end up being a Republican. I suppose it was the only way he could get elected in his home state.

Nonetheless, it seems to me that there is a huge difference between taking on some party title to get elected, and turning your back on human beings being tortured, when you yourself have been a victim of such barbarism.

I really have no idea what goes on in this man's head.
