Salcedo: "You have a manner about you that gets to the nub of an issue, but you do it with a smile on your face in a classic way as everybody can see, very much in the style, in my opinion, of Benjamin Franklin. I think we need more of you and less of the Squad, and that's your liberty-loving Latino's opinion here.

What is the proper role, in your opinion, of those in government if they're playing by the John Kennedy playbook?"

Kennedy: Just tell the truth and say what you believe. The American people are plenty smart. Now they don't read Aristotle every time 'cause they're busy earning a living, they're busy getting up every day and going to work, paying their taxes, trying to do the right thing by their kids.

But they can figure all this out. And we saw them figure it out in the last election. You know, I've got this adage that I try to live by: Always be yourself unless you suck, you know, and if you suck there's nothing you can do about it.

I just try to be myself, and I mean it, I don't hate anybody. When I say my prayers at night, I ask God, "Don't let me hate." You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. The difference between me and many of the loon wing of the Democrats is that I trust the American people to figure it out on their own, and they always do. ///
