Charlie – As a lifelong democrat raised in a family of lifelong democrats, I cannot imagine our paths would have ever crossed if it weren’t for you becoming a Never-Trumper, from the very beginning. There have been a few Republican heroes emerge at critical times during these past 8 years, and you are one of the very best of the best! Consistent, insightful and passionate, with a strong moral and political compass, you have not only shed light but also a sense of purpose, hope, and community. I have learned so much from you.

I’m certain the cost has been immense to you personally and professionally, but you’ve never wavered.

You've changed my perspective - not always an easy thing to do at my age!

I simply want to say Thank You. I will sorely miss Morning Shots, but I’m hoping that our loss will, indeed, become Eli’s gain! I’m looking forward to the contributions you will continue to make here at the Bulwark and elsewhere.
