Some Thoughts...
The hardest part about a reality TV star being president is that we forget to differentiate the two. The Presidency isn't a television series, even if Trump and the rest of the terrible people surrounding him treat it that way.

Omarosa and her book don't matter. The tape of John Kelly firing Omarosa doesn't matter. Most importantly, the news segments that cover these events don't matter. One thing we've learned in the Age of Trump is that major news networks are really bad at resisting the bait.

Here are some things that matter:

I know it's all so overwhelming, especially when you realize that the problems we know about are just the tip of the iceberg. But luckily, and I'll die on this hill, the beginning of the solution to all of these problems is the same.

Knock Doors. Phone Bank. Get involved.

P.S. - If you know anyone in or around DuPage County that would be interested in this email, please forward it to them. I'm a volunteer, so it's not like I get more money if there are more subscribers. I just work hard on this every week, and want as many people as possible to be informed. Thanks!
