Robert—Your final two paragraphs today are two of your best ever—clear and inspiring. I’m saving them because they speak the individual and collective hopes of Americans over 200 + years of time. Those hopes may have been dimmed or threatened in recent times, but it’s past time for us to resurrect them in our own hearts to replace the cynical anxiety so many of us have felt during the past 6 years. Now we must vote to regain the heart and soul of our nation.

Robert, thank you.

Remarkably well put!

As a Clinical Psychologist, I can tell you that the focus on carpools to soccer practice trumps you know who, regularly.

"It is the America of 320 million people, 99.9% of whom want nothing more than to make a better life for themselves and their families—even if they are angry over politics. They still get up in the morning and go to their jobs, drop their kids off at school and take them to soccer practice. They are not bivouacking in make-believe military exercises with misguided and impotent men looking for a way to release their anger."
