The essence of Prop. 50 is to say that if you are going to play that game, then we are going to try to counteract that abuse of the system.

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.
