    When he says “I may not get there with you…” it’s because he had just heard this:

    (FBI spoken warning starts at 2:40–I’ll bet the real one was a lot scarier than any CNN-hired actor!)

    The idea that he heard this threat, and CONTINUED ONWARD? Such courage and faith are what I most fervently wish for myself.

    Such spiritually-based political bravery is almost inconceivable to me.
