As we stand on the precipice of history, I can remember when this room

was the only place I felt safe.

I can remember when the folks *here* were guiding each other through all the crap they threw at her. (and at us, frankly)

I want you all to know how much it meant to me, just to have *this* place at *this* time in our nation's journey.

Thank you!!

Once the primaries are finally settled, we have a mass exodus of hard core "NEVER" supporters and things calm down.

Plus, could there EVER be a more uniting force (for DEMS) than DJT?

I so look forward to what simply MUST be an HRC triumph and to have this election behind us. That said, boy are the a-holes in Congress going to be ginned up. We must not vacate the fight afterwards.

This year. It is the second time we have broken the ceiling, two presidents in a row. I am happy to be a part of the Hillary and Barrack group.

I felt that I lived in an upside-down world at times, and thank God for this group and the mods who kept it going!

Cheers!
