The very of America is so audacious - that everyone is created equal by God and therefore should have equal power and opportunity - that every generation has to play out the age-old contest between royalism and democracy. The contest is re-enacted in every era. Now it’s our turn.

After Nevada I actually felt hope and now as I see this team of Democrats forming against us and I'm scared for America. I'm brokenhearted again.
