It was more than missing the man himself. It had something to do with the pomp and circumstance and the genuine sorrow and the ever-present absence of the President.
Joe Biden, mourning his friend, comforting the family, all while not so subtly sticking his finger in DJT's eye. Larry Fitzgerald comparing his dreadlocks to the Senator's, and letting the laughter finish the sentence.
It came to me, in a flash. His final goodbye is a message to the rest of the world.
America is still here.
We are strong and resilient and look pretty good in our uniforms and pretty powerful up here on Air Force Two. So don't worry. We'll be back as soon as the system works its magic and we get rid of this guy. No violence, despite what He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named predicts, will accompany the transition of power, in the halls of Congress or in the White House itself.
We are the world's oldest democracy.
We're not going anywhere.
I am counting on you to be right.
