“I have cast my vote for character, & that vote is for Vice President #KamalaHarris.
“Ms. Harris has the strength, the temperament &, importantly, the values to serve as commander in chief. When she sits down with world leaders like President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine, representing the #UnitedStates on the global stage, I have no doubt that she is working in our national interest, not her own.”
-Retired 4-Star General Stanley McChrystal

“Political narratives & policies matter, but they didn’t govern my choice. I find it easy to be attracted to, or repelled by, proposals on taxes, education & …other issues. But I believe that events & geopolitical & economic forces will, like strong tides, move policymakers where they ultimately must go. In practice, few admins travel the course they campaigned on. Circumstances change. Our president, therefore, must be more than a policymaker or a malleable reflection of the public’s passions.”

“She or he must lead — & that takes character.
“…Regardless of what a person says, character is ultimately laid bare in his or her actions. So I pay attention to what a leader does.
“…Character will dictate whether we stand by our #NATO allies & against Vladimir #Putin’s continued aggression. Character will dictate whether we have a commander in chief who honors & respects the men & women who serve in uniform.

“Fortunately, neither candidate in this pivotal election is unknown to us. We’ve had years to watch both closely.
“…Uncritically accepting the thinking of others or being swayed by the roar of social media crowds is a mistake. To turn a blind eye toward or make excuses for weak character from someone we propose to confer awesome power & responsibility on is to abrogate our role as citizens. We will get — & deserve — what we elect.
