I thought that I had heard that MY MAN, ‘Dean Phillips‘ had a speaking spot at ‘DNC 2024‘. But, I can’t find anything on ‘Google’ or ‘YouTube’. The above CNN interview is about as close as I can get.
I want to make sure you have access to it. My job is now done. Thanks. SMILE.
Nothing against Biden. I used to be HUGE fan. It was just that he was too old. Not his fault. We all get old. Glad he stepped down, though I wish he had done it much, much earlier. But, the key thing is that it is done.
Heard ‘Dean Phillips‘ speak to CNN this evening. He is supporting ‘Kamala Harris‘. Kind of disappointed, BUT he is being realistic. I applaud him for that.
When I was lucky enough to be introduced to him, I told him that I could NOT support him as a 3rd Party Candidate. We couldn’t afford to have any votes split. We couldn’t afford to lose a single vote. That was last October.
I saw that ‘they’ (high campaign staff) were FILMING us as we spoke (& walked back to his bus). I kind of had a HUNCH that I would appear in SOME campaign Ad. I am STILL a rarity in New Hampshire — a non-white.
I only appear FLEETINGLY in the Ad. You don’t even have to blink to miss the shot. But, that is OK. Glad it shows me deep in talk. So, as you can see it wasn’t a meaningless ‘meet-and-shake‘.
I lucked out (as is my wont). I was in ‘Laconia‘, this afternoon, at the same time he was. And I there are a FEW people in ‘the party’ who know me. They arranged for me to talk with him. He was heading back to his bus. I walked with him (in a light rain shower).
He assured me, right up front, that he will NOT run against Biden.
That was PARAMOUNT. I will NOT support a Third-Party candidate or anyone who plans to run against Biden.
We CANNOT — WE CANNOT — afford to have the vote SPLIT. We need every single vote.
Once that was out of the way, we had a good, productive — albeit short — chat.
He is impressive. Very personable. Very much a PEOPLE PERSON. He connects well.
Talks well. Has presence.
And he is YOUNG. He is FIT. Wow.
I can — AND WILL — support him. IF he becomes the CANDIDATE I will campaign for him, tirelessly (& with my pocketbook) like I did for ‘Obama‘ in 2008 (Primary & Election) & 2012.
