We’re just 66 days out from the most important election of our lifetime. I know it’s common for people to say this every election, but it’s not an exaggeration to say this election will determine whether we continue to be a democracy.
Coming off the Democratic National Convention, I’m feeling hopeful. We have come a long way since I sent you that email last month about how I felt like crap!
Coach Walz said it clearly at the convention: “When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re going to use it.”
Well, I hope you watched the Democratic Convention in Chicago this week. Quite a contrast to the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, where former President Trump confidently improvised a 90-some-minute monologue that passed as an acceptance speech.
Please don’t tell Franni I’m writing this. I’m supposed to be straightening up my office while she goes through the living room.
If Trump wins in November, I have the feeling that there will be plenty of cash available to finance two retirements of unimaginable luxury.
