He was the genuine article; the ultimate “bootstrapper”. His mother did laundry for brothels to feed her family. Harry earned money from bare-knuckled boxing to attend college. He was instrumental in running the Mob out of Vegas and had at least one attempt on his life.
Then he got into politics and was exceptional at it. An LDS Democrat, he could work with anyone, but was iron behind his soft voice.
We probably won’t see his like again.

He championed Obamacare through in Senate, knowing that he was signing a death warrant for his re-election chances, because it was the right thing to do.
Then the GOP nominated a gibbering nutcase to run against him, and he was re-elected.

He was smart enough to make his opponent’s mental ability THE campaign issue.
Yep. All he had to do was stand back and watch her self-immolate on a daily basis.
That sucks.
