So scared

   

There’s been so much I’ve wanted to say about the Republican ticket. 

SO much. 

But I’ll let Patti Davis, in the current issue of Newsweek, say it instead.  For now. 

(Written as a letter to Hillary Clinton)

“Many of us are frightened about the future of this country. You once said, with tears in your eyes, that running for president was very personal to you -- that where America goes from here was deeply personal. It's personal to us also. Please help us communicate that putting a woman on a presidential ticket is only a good thing if it's the right woman.  Certainly, those of us who watched the Republican convention saw a woman who knows how to throw zingers. But few of us, if any, were encouraged by that.  America is in trouble. We need hope, we need solutions, we need dignified, compassionate leadership. If we want zingers we'll turn on Comedy Central.”
