that s such an easy one. i have no doubt that s going to happen very quickly. a lot of other people do have doubts. plus, that same reception for senators rare and optimistic talk about recent actions in the war against isis. we re doing very well in iraq. our soldiers are fighting and fighting like never before. and the results are very, very good. and yes, it s been awhile. hillary clinton returns to the public stage and says democrats must do a better job organizing. we need to resist actions that go against our values as americans, whether that s attacking immigrants and refugees, denying climate change, or passing bogus laws that make it harder for people to vote in elections. also making a rare public appearance today, first lady melania trump at a state department event honoring women from around the world. together, we must declare that the era of allowing the
