Within a hour of Kamala Harris ending her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, a campaign that got off to such a brilliant and promising start, Hillary Clinton, who knows a thing or two about having one's presidential aspirations thwarted, tweeted--
To all the candidates, staff, and volunteers who have worked their hearts out for presidential campaigns that have ended—remember that fighting for what you believe in is always worth it.
If this generous Hillary had shown up in 2016, we would be living in a very different, more hopeful America.
I know she is desperate to come up with a way to get into the race, but . . .
When I was seven, my father began to leave a copy of the "New York Times" on the breakfast table each morning before he went to work. Unread copies piled up for three years. At ten I began to peek at the sports pages: poring over Dodgers, Giants, and Yankees scores. Later, I glanced at other sections, and by age 20 I was addicted. At 40, I had my first Letter to the Editor published--it was about Israel bombing Iran's nuclear reactor. (How times haven't changed!) My father called from Florida to tell me he saw the letter and that he was proud of me. That was the first time he said that. It made me cry but also kept me reading the paper every day. Now this blog. I hope he would be proud of this too.
