Whether it’s him or not they can use this honest, humble yet angry messaging.

He definitely has a political future and it's very obvious he wants to personally take on Trump.

I was worried he might be all about self promotion. This tells me he is fighting for what I believe in, and he believes in it too.

If it happened, I'd vote for him. But you all know I think Tammy Duckworth is the right choice.

Now I’ll think about Duckworth, though. That’s interesting too.
