3/ Other generations aren’t the issue now; what matters are the choices that we make, in our time. We need to identify the problems left over from from the past, but identify WITH the problem-solvers. There were plenty. Let’s be among them. It's our turn now to re-invent America.

We need wisdom, competence, compassion and humility to be qualities in our chosen leadership.

Trump had the economy of our lifetime plus unemployment at it’s lowest ever for minorities even with all the negative media and people like you trying to bring him down . You should be ashamed to call yourself American
