To my supporters, it is with deep regret—but also with deep gratitude—that I am suspending my campaign today.

But I want to be clear with you: I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for the People. All the people.

And as many have noted, she would be an excellent AG.

and it would help if the media were to cover all of the candidates, instead of their obsession with media contrived controversies.

to candidates who will not release their impossible dreams.

This should give Booker, Klobuchar, and the Mayor a leg up, but we shall see.

And we shall see if she is offered a cabinet position.

Next time, hopefully. When she'll know going in, and we will also, just what she intends to accomplish, and not swing around chasing "traction" by changing positions.

I also want principles- and ideals- oriented presidential candidates. A list of "I'll do" issues that it's congress who will be addressing falls far short. She's not the only one using electoral ignorance to deceive about that, and I believe many like her felt they had no choice but to make competing "I'll legislate" promises.
