I'm old enough to remember 1979 when Middle East terrorists (Iran) held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. Today, Middle East terrorists (Hamas) have been holding 6 Americans hostage since Oct 7th. In both cases, we had a weak Democrat president who wasn't feared or respected. In both cases, only a strong Republican president who is feared and respected will bring our fellow Americans home.
