We will respect you but we will never trust you.
A 20 minute speech will not erase the memories. We will carry them with us forever. We appreciate your offer to support our candidate .... but we just can't trust you ever again.
We appreciate your endorsement but we remember so well how for the past 13 months you savaged a fine man who was too kind to answer you in kind. The media is praising you as usual but we cannot trust you. The image of that reporter asking you if Barack Obama was a Muslim and you answering:
"not as far as I know."
That image will never fade
We will try to respect you Senator but we will never trust you.
