Quotations
… it felt as though 62,979,636 voters had chosen to turn this country into a macro version of my malignantly dysfunctional family.
The atmosphere of division my grandfather created in the Trump family is the water in which Donald has always swum, and division continues to benefit him at the expense of everybody else.
Unlike any previous time in his life, Donald's failings cannot be hidden or ignored, because they threaten us all.
If he is afforded a second term, it would be the end of American democracy.
Donald following the lead of my grandfather, and with the complicity, silence, and inaction of his siblings, destroyed my father. I can't let him destroy my country.
