NM11046 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 This is heartbreaking, and even worse is my first thoughts included "I expect tRump will make a fool of himself over this". I'm hopeful that similar to what we saw with McCain we will see a unification of the house and senate parties as he was a respected man across the aisle as well. Fingers crossed that something good comes of this man's passing at such an important time. Link to comment

Fingers crossed that something good comes of this man's passing at such an important time. Unfortunately my first thoughts were the same. See how despicable trump is and what kind of affect he has on the political discourse. But then I thought about how Cummings, who I really had not followed that much previous to his chairmanship on the House committee, was a real standup kind of guy. He showed heart, compassion, toughness, etc. Even though I may not like all of his politics, I gained new respect for him during the hearings. The Dems lost a true warrior and America lost a good statesman. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 And, no comment from Trump. Link to comment
ZRod Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 He actually was appropriate, so good on him. Let's just hope he doesn't do like he did with McCain and trample on a dead man's grave after a short time. 1 Link to comment
Ulty Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We need more politicians like Elijah Cummings. Let's hope that more legislators will run with his example and keep fighting for the right thing. 1 1 Link to comment

NM11046 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He was a man deserving of all those speaking to remember him. And on a side note, for many reasons this funeral should set off you know who. Link to comment
