I wish before the debate one of the contenders had said this: [View all]

[Girard442]

Before the debate we all met and crafted this statement that is endorsed by all of us. We then drew lots and I was the one chosen by chance to deliver it.

All of us, every one, firmly believes that any of us would make a vastly better president than Donald Trump and it is our pledge that it will be the very first priority of each of us to see that Trump exits the White House. The primary campaign will be a battle of ideas. The American people deserve nothing less. The battle may become heated at times, but none of us will waver in our determination to see that highest priority served. To do anything less is to make it more likely that America will plunge into a dark abyss of fascism, racism, misogyny, and evil. Our country needs defending and we are united to defend it.

Thank you.
