to our nation that any other nation on the planet. This is where I live.

It's not like I don't have empathy for other people around the world because I do, but I am literally watching this nation becoming almost unrecognizable and that is no exaggeration.

If we don't stop this infighting within our party then it really might go beyond the point of no return.
