Without bureaus, committees, officials or emissaries to manufacture sentiment in his favor, without intrigue or effort on his part, Grant is the candidate whose supporters have never threatened to bolt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't ever recall having a political argument with Bob Grant. I've known him a long time. I've always liked him.
General Grant had no fixed plan of campaign beyond the general idea to avoid the strong defensive line occupied by General Lee behind Mine Run, and find a way to draw him out to open battle.
I fancy that no good ideas upon that campaign will be mentioned at any time that did not receive their share of consideration by General Lee.
I'm crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.
One of the problems with a candidate like Bob Kennedy, and his brother before him, was that people assumed they didn't need contributions.
My father never ran for office or supported anybody for office, and was not engaged in that at all.
No salesman can ever guarantee you a grant from any government or non-profit organization.
My wife always tells people, 'He's not going to be able run to for anything because I'm not going to let him start a campaign.'
I never praised Mr. Snowden or said his actions rise to those of Mohandas Gandhi or other civil rights leaders.
He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.
