    Philadelphia is jubilant and so am I. Imagine this! We will have a President who speaks in complete sentences. Can he start Monday?

    • On behalf of all the family in South Carolina, let us send a very loud THANK YOU to your state – you kept the faith – and you were oh, so, right. The country is grateful to the state of Pennsylvania for helping to rescue our endangered democracy.
      Bless you and yours.
