Sorry to mislead....I just know we are in grave danger and tRumo is a masterful showman with the powers of the presidency to help him destroy America...

We are a country without a leader. We can't afford to wait until January for President Joe Biden to step into that role.

Ask the people who's actual job is to communicate to the American people what presidential candidates are saying.

Paraphrasing here. Out darkest moments have led to the greatest change.

We’ve had talk, it’s time for action. Can’t wait for the first 100 days of my presidency. Calling on Congress to act this month. End use of chokeholds. Police reform. Rectify economic inequities. Expand in Obama care.

People are suffering. Knows his is not the same but knows pain. Talking about anniversary of son’s death. Talking about Kennedy’s assassination and MLK’s. Bending the long arc of justice.

Refers to trump’s racist and threatening tweets. Not the words of a president.

America’s story is one of action and reaction. Racism didn’t start with trump and won’t end with him. America is not a fairytale with a guaranteed happy ending. It’s always a fight.

Ask yourself is this who we are? Is this who we want to be?

I look at the presidency as a very big job. No one gets it right all the time. I won’t get it right all the time either, but I won’t use fear and blame.

Our duty includes remembering who we should be. The America that cherishes like liberty and courage. And each other.

If we stand together as one America we’ll move that arc. Take care of one another. There’s nothing we can’t do when we do it together.

It was so wonderful to hear a wise, kind and, yes, presidential response to the horror we're living through.

Then observed that even the pillow guy sounded more presidential than Trump since the bar is so low (but she wasn’t diminishing Biden, just pointing out trump’s failure to act like a freakin’ leader — since he’s not one)
