The Most Flawed Man

I’ve been thinking of questions Vice President Kamala Harris can ask Trump in tomorrow night’s debate. For example:

“Why do you suppose your former Chief of Staff John Kelly called you ‘the most flawed person he’d ever met?’”

Or she could ask about Trump’s first Secretary of State Rex Tillerson calling Trump “a fuck*ng moron.”

Or she could ask about Secretary of Defense James Mattis telling friends that his Commander-in-Chief was “more dangerous than anyone could ever imagine.” 

These three served during Donald Trump’s first term. They seem to be saying, “Please God! Don’t give him a second!!!”

Thank God there’s stuff we can all do about it. Get involved! Make phone calls! Door-knock!

And…

Thanks,

Al

P.S. Here’s another one. In 2018, while in France to commemorate the centennial of the end of World War I, Trump was to visit the graves of American soldiers at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery. But he canceled, blaming the rain for the last-minute decision and saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly,” which wasn’t true. Also, he didn’t believe it important to honor American war dead. In a conversation with senior staff members, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” 

Fun story, huh? It’s from The Atlantic.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
