I never cared for him.
Always felt like he was a phony. And who knows -- he may have been a legitimately decent man for a while, but the heavy gambling stuff hinted at some demons underneath all of that. Undoubtedly, this has curdled over time and he's now just another extremely rich & powerful person who has used his status to fuck over a variety of 'lessers' in a variety of ways.
It's important that we still have outlets to speak truth to power and call people what they are, all the way to the very top. Wish more Americans cared as much about the behavior of their "public servants" as they do their heroes.
