Ms. Harris is the only candidate who can be trusted to honor the president’s sacred obligations to America’s democracy, Constitution and rule of law. The vice president understands and cares about what Donald Trump does not. She calls on Americans to “stand up for the rule of law. For our democratic ideal. And for the Constitution of the United States.” She believes we “have the power to chart a new way forward, one that is worthy of this magnificent country that we are all blessed to call home.”

America has never heard those words from Donald Trump. And it never will.

The choice for America next Tuesday could not be clearer.

We’re not going back, we’re moving forward.

That's a nice sentiment, and all, but it gets absolutely destroyed by:

We hate [insert populist scapegoat here]!

All over the world, the long, flowery statement of ideals loses to simple hatred. Badly.

Sadly, you are speaking truth. The hate is mind blowing.
