The only thing I do is laugh at how it upsets MAGAs. I know, unlike some seem to, that anyone who backs us now only wants us to remove Trump from their party. We do the dirty work, and then they turn on us and we're right back in it.

And the truth is, we don't need them. We can use them to make a point, but it's not going to win this for us. We will win it. Getting out the black vote, the young vote, the Latino vote, and more importantly, the women votes.

Nothing else matters but showing everyone a path to a better future, with opportunities, not handouts. With peace and equality, not hate and divisiveness. That is our true strength, and no Republican endorsement is going to make a damned bit of difference.
