I once had the great luck to sit next to Bill Bradley on a flight to NY from London. As an ignorant Brit, I noticed he had a sheaf of papers and many people coming to greet him. So I asked him if he was ‘in politics’. He replied, ‘Yes, I was until I ran for president’. Felt like an idiot. But the rest of the flight he was as gracious and eloquent as this piece by him. Humanity and scale.
Thank you, Bill Bradley, for this from-the-heart message. I couldn't agree more! I find myself grateful that my children are now grown so they were never exposed to such toxicity when they were young. Or that my parents are no longer living to worry, as I do, before this election day. I know I am not alone, but there is a certain loneliness that I feel that has it's roots in a deep sadness for our country. How do we recover from this ugliness, after the votes are cast - regardless of outcome? The behavior and the speech are ugly, they are destructive, and they undermine the grain of what we both believe it is to be an American.
Dear Sen. Bradley, I would like to read what you had to say. Perhaps you can share a link to a pdf of this column..so that people who would like to read it do not have to give permission to The Daily News to send links to other articles. (Too much junk mail.)
I always enjoyed watching your teams play at Princeton and NY. But those were games, and quite frivolous compared to living under the rule of law established under our Constitution. Therefore, I enjoyed the epic Trump rally at MSG more than those games. The nation is at stake. Your party has done everything possible to destroy our country with its epically awful governance. Biden and Harris are corrupt traitors to our values and culture, and must be removed from leadership.

The points about Trump (which I agree with) not withstanding, MSG as hallowed ground. Come on Bill. Get over yourself
Thank you for bringing some common sense to this campaign.

So beautifully and soulfully rendered. Sullied the Garden, for sure. How is this evil happening??
