I have come to the point this many years later that I just have to decide –

I mean, yeah, there are obviously lots of questions here.

Here's my thing, right?

I just I have made a personal decision that I'm just going to try not to get.

That was basically a summer of pure.

unadulterated rage the whole time what was happening.

I can remember my blood pressure at the time.

Yes, I'm trying not to revisit that period in my life.

So as I sit here today, I care less about what Jill Biden has to say about what happened that moment.

I care less about what Mike Donilon or all the other people who covered up for Biden

have to say about what happened at that moment.

What I care about is what happens going forward.

And what bothers me the most is not the timeline of events of 2024, but whether Democratic leaders now will ever reckon with the massive breach of trust that came because of

how all of that was handled.

Telling voters that what they saw with their eyes before the debate was that they shouldn't believe that, and then telling voters what they saw at the debate they shouldn't believe.

That lack of trust hurts us with our own voters, hurts us with the other voters, and we have to be thinking at all times about how to rebuild that trust.

We should optimize strategic decision-making at the

How do we rebuild trust, not just with our voters, but with all voters?

And that is, I think, as I try to find a way not just to throw my phone against the wall every time I see stuff like that.

That's where I'm trying to direct my positive energy.
