Nov 2016

She knows what to do. She knows how to act. She certainly doesn't need any coaching from any man. These guys... Dan Rather, Chris Matthews... They're living in the past. The new generations don't expect a woman to apologize for herself and flatter the fragile egos of these weak men.
My hope for her is to just let her go and to have her back when she needs my support for something.
But first we have to GOTV and WIN!!!
