2/ I knew it was a long shot. I knew I’d reap a ton of scorn & abuse, and I knew I’d put myself and my family at great risk. But I still did it because I believe in my bones that Donald Trump is unfit, he’s a danger to this country, and he must be stopped.

3/ I also know that most Republicans & Conservatives feel the same way about Trump, but very few say anything publicly. So many are afraid. Far better candidates than myself could have challenged Trump, but none did. So I did.

4/ I did because I believe it’s imperative that a Republican is out there everyday calling out Trump’s unfitness. It’s been difficult. Trump & Party bosses have cancelled primaries, GOP donors who despise Trump, have still been afraid to give $ to me,

5/ and so many people in the “never Trump” world who clamored for a GOP Primary challenger have disappeared these past few months. They complain about Trump everyday, but don’t support me or @GovBillWeld, who’ve both stuck our necks out.

6/ Yes, the lack of financial support and the inability of never trumpers to put their money where their mouth is and coalesce around a primary challenger has been disappointing. I know I’m not the perfect candidate, but all those “perfect candidates” were too afraid to run.

7/ I’m not afraid because I believe that this is one of those moments where history calls us all to step up and do our part. To do our part in this moment to stop Donald Trump, who is the very thing our Founders feared. And if I have to endure a bunch of insults, threats,

8/ and shit, so be it. Trump must be stopped. All I ask, as 2019 comes to a close, is your support in helping me stop Trump. You may not like my politics, you may not like things I’ve said & done, I may not be a “pure” enough never Trumper for you.

9/ That’s all fine. But if you agree with me that Trump is a danger, and if you respect the fact that I had the courage to walk away from a comfortable life, expose myself to daily threats, and take on this fight, please consider making a contribution to my campaign.
