Libtards are sniping because Clint will not be in their arena in Charlotte. No doubt they’ll turn out a parade of their own celebs who will once again show that they don’t understand reality but will receive nothing but accolades for their (snicker) “insight”.
I think great performances have those moments. I remember Jimmy Stewart on Carson and he would take forever to tell a funny/touching story. It’s an emotional journey that is part of the skill.

I was a bit sad to see him look so old, but that is what happens with those who are tough enough to survive.
It was good, and left wing yelps of pain prove that it was effective.
