Ken Bone was the light in the dark second presidential debate tunnel
During an exhausting town hall debate Sunday night, America looked for any bright spot amid the lack of sportsmanship and the accusations of hate.
One man rose to that occasion. One man became that bright spot. That man was Kenneth Bone.
Near the end of the debate, a brave man named Ken Bone stood up and asked Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump a sincere question.

Bone asked about energy policy and his message was one of hope. He wanted to know how the candidates would meet America's energy needs while minimizing layoffs and still being environmentally friendly.
The internet took his hope home with it, curled up with it and went to sleep knowing that at least one good person existed in America.
The internet immediately fell head over heels for Bone, setting up a Twitter account and a Facebook fan page for him.
The adorations, probably heightened by the ugliness on stage, poured in.
Tonight.. A star was born. World, meet Kenneth Bone. Ken Bone, meet the world. https://t.co/O9zMvjicmh
