He had me in 2004 Key note. He had me for eight years. He is still out there fighting for us. He TOLD US to fucking vote. Some just ignored the warning and did not vote Democratic. Sad.

The same thing as the Titanic. That is not just the sinking of a ship. It is foresight or lesson to people. You ignore warnings and you get an iceberg (Russian meddling ) that will gouge out the side of your ship ( US voting system ) and you get a sunken ship ( 45 in the White House ).

I see a guy that was being slick and trying to pass off a cheap hustle ( and I really think he got it from some B movie ) as Presidential. The only honest way that he could get anywhere close to the White House is standing outside the fence.

I also miss Christmas parties at the White House where the President walks in and calls me by my name! I sure as hell hope Trump does NOT know my name, and I'd be VERY perplexed if he were to invite me to anything.

Let me amend that by mentioning that if I were invited to a charity event where Melania were to repeatedly pull a lever that dumped him into a shallow pool of water, I MIGHT reconsider.

Not only do I miss complete sentences, I also miss his articulate and compassionate responses. I miss feeling safe and secure. I miss the way he made us feel united. I miss how he appreciated the little things and also his playtime with visiting children in the WH. I miss his environmental causes. I miss his commitment to advancing women's causes (equal pay & VAWA) I miss his self control, determination and grasp of realty. I miss the way he would reach across the aisle. I miss his commitment to this country. I miss so much more about him and his family. His legacy is always present, they can try to erase it from history but we won't let them.
