We have to consolidate and get down to one person..but I still feel really sad at Mayor Pete

[Peacetrain]

stepping back. And I felt sad when Andrew stepped back.. he just about lived in Iowa City for a year...you develop a real affection for these candidates.. I felt the same way about all the rest that have stepped back.

The one good thing that helps, is I truly feel that many of these candidates who have stepped back will be active in the next Democratic President's administration.

We will see them again as they hone their craft and make another run

I just so appreciate all the work they put in. Such a hard undertaking, and heartbreaking when one realizes it will not be this time.

Thank you Mayor Pete! See you on the flip side

1. Yeah, I am sad too Peacetrain.

[Peacetrain]

2. He will be back this way.. He will run again I am sure

But he will never be this young again, or this hopeful that change can really happen. But he will be back a more wizened politician.

5. He has a future ahead of him...but something about his youth and his hope touches my heart.

And you are right...he will be different next time...
