Hopeful Start...

The first Democratic presidential debate was held last night.  All 10 of the candidates were inspiring, honest and professional.  There is much work to be done. Hope is not a resting place but a starting point - a cactus, not a cushion.
Another thought that inspired me is that those that don't win, could become great, confirmed cabinet officials to lead important functions in our government. And here is the second cactus metaphor: What's the difference between a cactus and the suck-up, morally abhorrent Trump cabinet?  With a cactus, the pricks are on the outside.
