Of entrepreneurs but millions of hardworking men and women who are building their American Dream every day.

Threatened to be shut down from losses that were not our fault. I was scared. I thought of our 50 employees, the mountain mud family, and when i thought of their jobs, i thought of the rent being due, their kids, and i felt personally responsible. Im not too proud to admit that i fell on my knees and prayed, lord, what do i do question mark his words rang clear keep on working, it will be ok. You, faith and let me tell you have to have faith when your husband is a marine and Police Officer who is shot at on the job. When you run a business, a little faith goes a long way. Faith in jesus and faith in america. Im worried we have a generation of americans who have been told the American Dream doesnt exist. That is a lie.
Our opinion writer for the Washington Post. Welcome to first look, Washington Post live stop shop for news and analysis, all about this week, the Republican National convention. Lets get started with White House Reporter ann geron. In chief Political Correspondent dan. It is a tuesday morning. Welcome, both of you. Thank you. Glad to be here. Jonathan dan, to get your take on what we saw on night 1, was there any one particular thing that stood out to you . Dan i would say there were a couple of things that stood out. This was not quite the optimistic Convention Many organizers had been advertising.

Our success is not measured by stockholders that by our neighbors, but people we see at church and that go to school with our son. Our story is the american story. A story not just brought to printers, but for hardworking men and women who were building their American Dream every day. Like so manyago, businesses, we got the crushing news a large event we were serving was canceled because of the virus. Our business was on the brink.

A year later goldwater lost to the incumbent d
