is an astute assumption. One I happen to completely agree with and have feared to express. Thanks Will for saying it. This is the very reason I cannot deal with mom and pop republican anymore. The very reason I'm angry at willful ignorance and the people who perpetuate it, and celebrate it. At this point it's all excuses and fluff politically.

I'll support a Democrat and Bernie Sanders type Independents of course, but I am deeply disappointed with O. I'm not going to get into specifics but suffice it to say, we're in dire need of an aggressive representative's for the populace. One that can't be bought. We know as a nation we agree because it's been shown votes and in the streets. But they tell us otherwise and cover it with confusion and subterfuge till the next disaster.

I did not want this for my child and I know you wouldn't choose this either for your daughter.

Still, I will never quit trying to make a better place for her.

Sounds like your looking through different lenses, a father's view of the future.

Just remember it can still change, anything is possible, just don't quit.
