2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy e-mail from Elizabeth Warren
Friend --
I havent been in the Senate for long, but Ive learned: If you dont fight, you cant win. And Ill be honest, when things get tough, too often our side just folds and gives up.
But not Hillary Clinton. For 25 years, shes been on the receiving end of attack after attack. She didnt whimper. She didnt whine. Shes always fought back with grace and determination and no matter how many punches she took, each time she came out fighting stronger.
...
Hillary is a fighter. Throughout this campaign, she has said shell hold Wall Street accountable, raise the minimum wage, protect and expand Social Security, and help students graduate from college without being buried in debt. Shell fight for womens rights and LGBT rights and immigrant rights and civil rights. Thats Hillarys agenda, and it is a progressive agenda.
We need a candidate who fights for the right values -- and who isnt afraid to fight back against right-wing lunatics trying to undermine progress in our country. Because lets be honest, the Republicans have nominated the looniest of the right-wing lunatics to become our countrys next Commander-in-Chief.
Donald Trump is a man who built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia. A man who got rich while declaring bankruptcy, skipping out on what he owed to others, and scamming people. A man who is a small, insecure, moneygrubbing bully who doesnt care who gets hurt, so long as he makes a buck off it. A man who should never, ever be allowed to set foot in the White House.
So heres the deal: Hillary is smart as a whip, and shes a tough cookie. She can take Donald Trumps attacks and nasty name-calling. But if shes going to win in November if we are going to win in November then she cannot do it alone.
Its going to take all of us fighting hard to make sure Donald Trump gets NOWHERE near the White House. Hillary will fight her heart out to level the playing field for working families. Thats why Im with her -- and thats why we all need to be with her
