Summary

I used to be a political asshole. But I stopped. Because it wasn’t making things better. Being an asshole is a prerequisite to being a successful Republican today. Also, we can both recruit the best & brightest from around the world AND retrain Americans. Come on. Don’t limit this country. We can do both. Finally, no one in America has more power than a citizen. Happy new year.
