I was a strong, vocal, financial and volunteer supporter of the President.

So here goes a few.

This President has proven that the American people, not his own political career, has been his priority. That's passing along a gigantic advantage and huge message to the Republican nominee, who only cares about himself. If Democrats can somehow succeed at getting control of the narrative, this should be at the top of the list.

We now have control of the content of the media. Take advantage of it before they move on.

The President has, as a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling on Presidential immunity, all kinds of advantages now. He is a man of integrity, and I don't expect him to turn dictator tomorrow, as Trump would do in a heartbeat, but I hope he has some fun, and causes some Republican heartburn and distress, as a result of this.

As I said, I was a strong supporter of the President. I believed he would win this election. For goodness sake, look at who we're running against. The number of voters who want to see someone besides Trump are as high as those who wanted Biden out. I don't think it will take long for people to realize the advantages of a fresh face over a convicted felon, rapist, child molesting narcissist, and a vice president male chauvinist pig.

The most pressure now is not on who the nominee will be, it is on those Democrats, and billionaire donors, who forced the President to this decision. They are the ones who will be held accountable if Trump wins the election, and I wouldn't want to be any of them if that happens. They now have the responsibility to step up and unify the party. Better get your orange juice in the morning, today is your last day of rest until November. Keep in mind, the grassroots of this party are expecting not only to keep the White House and the Senate, but to win back the House as well and then push forward to stop the far right in its tracks.

This is a make or break moment for political careers. If we succeed, there will be a lot of political benefits. If we lose, it's not going to matter anyway, but the Democrats who have participated in this push can kiss their political careers goodbye forever.

services and protection they now get from a government that we pay for. Someone in Bernie's shoes who doesn't see 60% tax as unreasonable in exchange for all they get out of it.
