Congratulations and thank you for organizing this conference. I pray that C-Span broadcasts all of it, just like they did with your 2020 conference!

Please let us know if this will be the case!

I am terrified at the thought of Trump getting back into the White House for very personal reasons. My father suffered from the same mental health issues Trump suffers from. My mother was abused (physically and psychologically) for the 20 years they were married and he never stopped criticizing her in the years after their divorce. My sister and I also suffered from his abuse (in different ways). He pitted my sister against my mother for his attention and worked to prevent me from developing emotionally in a way that would have challenged his supremacy in the family by becoming more successful as an adult than he was.

With the support system Trump has around him now (contrasted with November 2016), the damage he will do to America this time will make what he did in his first time in office will look like a children's birthday party. We must prevent this from happening by giving Kamala Harris a LANDSLIDE VICTORY!

The website link: http://www.dangersoftrump.org is not linking. Is it spelled correctly or still under construction?

One man's deep, ancient rage at parents who ignored him maps onto political scenarios. Trump & followers hate the scapegoats du jour like Hitler hated Jews. They need to destroy to feel vindicated but their needs are bottomless.

That's why they're dangerous...

That's why we must stop them.

Steve Schmidt, in his substack today, accurately senses this.

BE CAREFUL OF J.D. VANCE; HE MAY HOLD TRUMPistas WHO KNOW BETTER

B.L.U.F. (bottom-line, up-front): J.D. Vance is a formidable candidate and the vice presidential debate will be crucial to victory.

We need this national conference to succeed, badly. I have not paid attention to Senator Vance. Recently, I listened to a couple of speeches. This candidate is formidable. Check out minutes twenty-four through thirty of this speech in which Senator Vance takes questions from local reporters.

Senator Vance did this in at least one other speech. He prefaces his dialogue by accusing Vice President Harris of avoiding the Press. Well one thing for sure: ¡the Falstaffian 'alien count' is now up to twenty-five millions (Henry IV, part-1: Act II, Scene-4)!

Not to worry, Ned, Mr. Walz had one of those wise guys in every class. And J.D is not very bright

That is what I am hoping, too.

It will be like what Joe Biden did to Paul Ryan in the 2012 debate, only more personal

G-D knows that I hope so; liar, liar, Vance on fire is worse than candidate Trump. His is a sickness of the soul -- excess ambition, in this case a mix of envy and pride.

EDIT: Trump has a few other mortal sins. What makes Senator Vance frightening to me is that he articulate, intelligent, and, I hate to say it, far more likeable than candidate Trump.

Oh yes, and no doubt the planners behind Project 2025 are salivating at the prospect of him succeeding Trump and becoming President.

But he has negative approval numbers worse than any recent candidate, I believe. He has turned off even Republican/MAGA women with his stone age comments. He has mixed reviews even from the far right male podcast contingent because some don't approve of his mixed race marriage. I think he is very weak as a candidate and a person. Here is a study of him by Nick Carmody, who is speaking at Dr. Lee's conference tomorrow

Many thanks. I have been wanting to find out what professionals think of this rank opportunist.
