I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is some way.
The beauty of 'The Walking Dead' and the beauty of being on a television show for a while is that it's your backstory it's part of what you are it's what you carry with you every day.
Every president has to live with the result of what Lyndon Johnson did with Vietnam when he lost the trust of the American people in the presidency.
