Tim is a pretty cool guy..Thank you Tim.😊
I am old enough to remember as far back as JFK and every civil struggle this nation has had since, and you young men give me hope for the future of America— in spite of what is happening in this moment. YOU will make America great again once this malignant cancer is removed from the White House!!!
WOW!! POWERFUL speech! It brought tears. We need you in Congress - go get 'em!
Happy Saturday Bulwark fam
Damn Tim. Love you, but corporations are NOT people. Fuck that. Repeal citizens United.
Hi Cam, Tim & Matt!
Cameron, you look so handsome in a suit. Its nice to see a young adult running for office. The politicians in the US all seem so old.
AND THE CHILDREN SHALL LEAD
The "Tim and Cam show" is quickly becoming one of Bulwark's finest. Bringing on young game changers like Mr. Post is the hope we need. Much more of this. Thank you.
Matt Post is a star. He should be front and center on as many Dem/progressive messaging vehicles as possible, all the time. Bravo.
