Imagine it's your birthday party. All the popular kids have shown up, but they're pissed at you.

That's what this moment feels like. You're used to being the most physically formidable person in the room,

but in this room, everyone's larger than life, especially the basketball players who tower over you by at least a foot.

They're all here for the same reason, to get you to change your mind.

The meeting room at the Union Hall in Cleveland, Ohio is unremarkable.

Throngs of disgruntled workers have passed through these doors on its shows.

Warren wooden chairs, yellowing walls, no windows. It feels almost like you're back in school.

But the people...

Now they're remarkable.

A few you've met before, some you've just seen on TV and in the newspapers, most had to get on airplanes to be here today.

Better than you. You're not scared of much, but flying terrifies you.

You make your way around the room, shaking hands, making small talk.

Are you nervous? Yeah. But you can't let us show.

That would be off-brand, so you make a joke as you take your seat.

So, gentlemen, what a coincidence that all of you just happened to be in Cleveland today.

They laugh, not just to be polite, because you've got to weigh with a funny line.

That too is part of your brand.

Soon the discussion turns to why everyone's really here.

The recent public stand you've taken against the US government.

And how it affects not just your future livelihood, but potentially theirs as well.

See, there's an elephant in the room.
