14. Why bring such negativity to your arugments?
Thu May 2, 2019, 09:43 PM
May 2019

Some never wake up, but some will. All Republican voters are not true Magats. Notice how just the release of the Mueller Report knocked Trump's polling. It does not help us to paint such dark and dire pictures of our future. We are a more resilient people than you give us credit for being. We have a heritage of nearly 250 years and a constitutional framework that no other nation has ever had.

It is possible that the center will not hold; but it is better to build a vision of strength and
hope than to spread doubt and fear. Where would you have been in 1942 with our Pacific
Navy wiped out and Hitler dominating Europe? What vision would you have painted? Thankfully, our
parents and grandparents took the challenge to prevail rather than prematurely to call
defeat.

The threats are different; the challenges are different. This time it is our turn to face these challenges
and save our Republic. This time it starts with us.
