I just left Denver, and I wasn’t ready to go!
The Press Club event brought out folks who were curious, a little bruised by the last few years, and ready to do something about it. The second talk drew another deeply engaged crowd who asked hard, engaging questions.
One woman at that second event was celebrating her birthday. She told me our talk was an unexpectedly good gift.
Someone else put it this way — and I’ll carry this with me:
“Rich, you have done what I didn’t think was possible. You saw it, you did it — and I appreciate you. You helped me trust in humans again. I want to say F-you to MAGA. But you remind me who I am. You remind me what works and what doesn’t.”
That’s really why we do this work. For that person. For the relationships they lost. For the anger they’re still carrying — and the hope they’re starting to find again. For you.
A new piece in The Atlantic makes something very clear: Trump’s approval is now lower than it was before the 2018 blue wave midterms among Independents, Latinos, young voters, and non-college white Americans.
The coalition that drove Trump to victory for a second term is, in the article’s words, “finished — kaput.”
That’s what we’ve been working for.

One former Trump voter told The Atlantic: “When Trump opens his mouth, three-quarters of what he says is stories, lies.” We’ve been saying this for years, and now parts of MAGA are catching up.
The window to reach persuadable voters before the midterms is open right now — and it won’t be open forever.
Thanks for being with us on this odyssey,
Rich
