The remarkable thing about Pete and Amy...

They literally just ended their campaigns. Campaigns that they spent years preparing for. Campaigns where they spent months on the road, reaching out to voters, criss-crossing the country, doing whatever they could to be get their message to the voters, hoping to gain traction and fight for the nomination of our party.

Those hopes quite literally just ended. They have to be disappointed, perhaps terribly so, yet here they are, right back on stage, enthusiastically supporting a fellow Democrat, a fellow competitor, and someone who was a political foe mere moments ago.

If you want to see what caring about one's country looks like. If you want to see what caring about the future looks like. If you want to see what unselfishness looks like. If you want to see what *unity* looks like, you couldn't find two better examples.

They were on my short list for the Texas primary this week, as was Senator Warren. While my vote will be for Joe Biden, I would have been quite honored to push the button for either of them.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

They are True Patriots and lovers of Democracy.. they care more about the health of our Country and Planet than they do about their own campaigns.

They are the true uniters. Amy & Pete!
