Wow, that was a shocker! But, in retrospect, I can see that you felt you couldn't do anything else. Someone has to step up to stop this madness. And you've made a career of doing just that, many times over. Good luck, and you will obviously have my support!

Good luck. My belief is that now that Trump is back out talking directly to people and not relying on the media, it will be a long, sad November night for anyone in blue.

LOL. I am absolutely relying on Trump to keep on talking.

But also, honestly, the biggest favor Trump did for me was building the ballroom. That just lays it all out on the line and shows us his priorities.

Sir: You have my support.

Congratulations on running for Congress! I can't think of a candidate I would trust more.

I wish you well in your attempt to join America's only native criminal class. I doubt whether a classic liberal individualist can win a Democratic party primary, but it will be an interesting experiment to find out how it goes. Win or lose people need to hear some of the things I expect you will be saying.

Oh, and I forgot to pass on that your website wouldn't 'accept' my signing up, as I got no reaction when I clicked 'subscribe' which I did many times.

Weird, but it will all be fixed.

I see you're on the list now. Must have been a glitch.

It’s about time you answered my challenge to take R.T. Radio Clash, I mean Chaos Report down the road. Remember, make like M&M and stick that microphone up the horses arse and make The Don and Me into a feature film…you are as heavily armed with the truth about the Trump Crime family…as one can attest to reading all day about it in your latest book. In these dayz where parties have flipped their priorities upside down, the only thing that matters is winning if truth and light are to triumph. Speaking of which party to choose life…liberty and the pursuit of happiness… it would be nice to see and hear someone call out the Virginia Republicans for merely associating with The Don, let alone doing Il Duces bidding. Gotta run on and good day and good luck. Thanks for taking my rant R.T. Peace through superior mental firepower

"As for the Democrats, the one issue I think is most important right now—reining in unlimited presidential power and restoring the checks and balances of the American system—is the issue where I am way far out beyond any of the other candidates."

I don't see this as a standing principle of the Democrats anymore than I see Free Speech as a principled issue for Trump. The Democrats were perfectly happy to see presidential power expand when it was Obama and Biden (or whoever was actually governing in the name of Biden) and Trump whined about Free Speech because he really just wants to silence opinions that don't align with his (though I think most have to agree that due to his influence, there is far less self-censorship and "cancel culture" is on the way out).

Nonetheless, I do very much believe that YOU want to rein in unlimited presidential power and will also have the integrity to vote what you think is right regardless of what your D party wants.

Good luck and I wish you success.

This is a courageous thing to do. As you said, you could just sit back and criticize, but you've decided to spend yourself on making our country better. You have my support. Hurry up and allow donations to your campaign, so I can back my support up with money.

Robert Tracinski's avatar

Already allowed. Go to the bottom of any post on my campaign page. I have it set up through DonorBox, but I'll be adding ActBlue soon.

The funny thing, I was a socially lefty, Clinton/ Obama type liberal , who thought I would always be towards the left side of my party. Then came the people who use the phrase "late stage capitalism" like they think we're gonna go whack the Romanovs😂😂. And I'm over here thinking, "guys......shit cost money, you can't just give people everything, policy inevitably involves trade-offs...". And so on.

I guess what I'm saying is, we met in the middle.

All the way, with Tri-ski!

I like Tri-ski?

Compassionate Conservatism? I'm pretty sure no one has used that one.🤔
