24. I felt sad when a candidate I really liked didn't make it.

But this year? As long as it's not drumpf, I'll be dancing on the table tops.

In the long run, that's what matters. So hold on to that.

Hold on to the fact that a Democrat has to win this. And know that when you put your check in the box next to the person with the D after their name, that you have done your part in helping to save America.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
