Dear @POTUS: The former U.S. Senator Gordon Humphrey isn't in the Teddy "Arena", not even close.

Remember what Jimmy Caan said while at craft service.  He had just found out I was a big Rollerball fan.

He was choosy about what to pick up and would say, "Destroy," and looked to see if I was paying attention. "Destroy...destroy...destroy." The "destroys" were getting fainter and further and farther in between.  If it wasn't the same word repeated over and over I wouldn't have know what he was saying.  He was about five feet away and by the end of his line, he was all but whispering, 'destroy', yet taking care to enunciate, like Warren Beatty did with his "Dwarves" tongue twisters in Bugsy (1991), A Film by Barry Levinson.
