A treasure, just as I expected.

Adam, you were fantastic, what you said and how you said it. Pitch perfect and a great lead-in to Harris's speech. You are getting rave reviews from pundits far and wide. Your speech made a difference. You helped the Harris-Walz ticket last night, and I am very grateful to you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I was hoping Republicans would tune into that. Too many only hear news from a single source. The militias still scare me a bit. Thank you for injecting some sanity.

Great idea. I'm going to order a yard sign with this phrase and add the word "VOTE" underneath.

What a speech for all Americans, one for the history books. May your voice and bravery change the trajectory of our country. This speech may well be noted as a main factor in moving our country forward and away from isolationism, anger, and division.

You were *amazing* last night and it made me so happy to hear (and read) all of the raves about your speech at the DNC! Thank you for your patriotism! I am so glad that I’ve become one of your subscribers, because I subscribe to your way of viewing our current political environment and that makes me more hopeful about the future! 😊

Just saw this in a New York Times article…

“Matt Labash, author of the newsletter Slack Tide ‘God bless Adam Kinzinger for telling the truth about his (and my) party, now corrupted to its core. MAGA snowflakes get triggered by him, suggesting he’s a RINO Judas. But the actual reason they hate him is that he reminds them of something they abandoned years ago: their integrity.’ “

I’m really proud of you and grateful for the magnitude of your courage.

I got a text from my sister during Kamala’s speech that my lifelong-Republican parents are considering voting for Harris in this election. They’re in Arizona where is really matters.

Keep up the good fight! But also, allow yourself time to rest and enjoy your partner and kid.

I knew you would deliver an amazing speech and you lived up to it! Republicans should heed your message and warning. I’m sure Fox was freaking out and DT will no doubt trash you to no end. But you not only did the courageous thing, you did the right thing. One day, history hopefully will accurately report this time in America’s fight for democracy as a dangerous period led by a narcissistic psychopath. You nailed it. God Bless you and God Bless America.

One day, hopefully there will be an accounting of how the mainstream media gave trump all the breaks because he made them money. That a figure of such unsuitability and malevolence can capture the zeitgeist is truly disturbing. And he did it with the media's help

Oh, it will. There is no denying this horrible and unbelievable time in our history.

I was stunned by your speaking placement in the program. Just before Maya, Kamala's sister, Governor Cooper, and then Kamala. You represented us - current and former Republicans and Independents. We were included. Thank you for your words and all of the effort that preceded it.

Adam, you hit it out of the park last night. We couldn’t be prouder of you! 🙏🙏

I watched you last night Adam and you kicked ass. I yelled out to my wife, "It's muh Bulwark boy Adam! Go dude go!"

Also, your son is adorable. Mine's less than a year younger than him (born Nov 22'). From one toddler dad to another, I've only got one question: what's your preferred children's TV show and why is it Bluey? :)
