Lugar was all time great. Those days are gone. He spoke to us in Indy at Beta Club Convention when I was a junior in High School. I listened to every word. There’s no one in DC in right now in either party that could hold Lugar’s shock.
Mike Braun went to DC with good intentions. He thought he could find compromise and pass good legislation. He found out there’s no chance for that and he’s leaving DC for State Government where he thinks he can impact our lives positively.
Stoll, do you ever wonder about owners of businesses such as Braun who are used to getting their own way ?
Can they adjust to working within an organization such as the Senate or House which requires patience, smoozing, and compromise.
Being governor may be a better match for Braun. Guess we will see, as it looks as if he is a shoe in.
