5. As much as I detest McConnell

I feel a little bit for his physical troubles. My sweet dad had polio as a child and if it wasn’t for my grandmother, it’s doubtful he would have ever walked again. She was relentless in working his legs and doing whatever necessary to help him. She had already lost a young son and wasn’t about to let harm come to another if she could help it. As a result of the polio my dad had a limp when he walked. He passed away when he was 59 so I don’t know how it would have affected him in his 70s-80s. He was always strong until he became ill. That’s why I will give a teeny tiny bit of grace to ol’ Mitch for the polio.
