Our image of Commander-in-Chief must change; it shouldn't be "Cowboy in Chief" or "Brute Force Officer in Charge." That's the dangerous image that took us to where we are. We need someone who recognizes the dynamics of a perpetual war machine & understands the dynamics of peace.

How would any American feel if we woke up to read that France, or Japan, or North Korea let's say, "ordered 3,000 troops deployed to the United States." Like, whuh...?

Saying Iran was “fully responsible” for attack on U.S. Embassy in Iraq, Trump ordered 750 U.S. soldiers there + 3,000 more prepared for possible deployment. HERE WE GO AGAIN. Be very clear: Saddam Hussein kept Iran at bay & with our invasion of Iraq we created this entire mess

Whoah, you’ve got Iraq and Iran confused. And are you suggesting others are warlike but we are not? It’s that kind of paternalistic arrogance that has led us into terrible mistakes - such as the invasion of Iraq - and made us extremely unpopular with many people around the world.

Not invading them would have been a good start. Let’s not forget that that’s what began the entire mess.

Very thankful American military & diplomatic personnel are safe after attack on our embassy in Baghdad. This tragic incident underscores need for a radically different way of conducting foreign policy. Brute force as primary problem-solving option leads only to more brute force.

Trump is a guerilla politician and it will take a guerilla politician to defeat him; establishment politics can only win against establishment politicians. Trump has already changed the game and now we have to too: the only real risk lies in NOT doing that youtube.com/embed/sv8V_yjlbL…

MLK Jr. said “Your life begins to end on the day you stop talking about things that matter.” We’ve tried to do that this year; here’s the video that sums up the journey so far...youtube.com/embed/sv8V_yjlbL…

If we want to win in 2020, it won’t be enough to just tell the truth; we’ll have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. What confronts us is not just a topical wound -it’s a corruption that runs deep and so must we. We won’t go forward unless we go deeper.

For the entire campaign I’ve talked about chronically traumatized children in America. While some have suggested I overstate the problem, I do not. Read this......washingtonpost.com/national/…

There are a lot more lovers than haters in this world. It’s time for the lovers to stand up, because the haters are already doing so. khqa.com/news/local/campaign…

When our goal is for every public school in America to be a palace of learning, culture & the arts - all green, of course - think how many jobs will be created building the schools, and how much wealth will ultimately be created because of the education children receive in them.
