Adam, no doubt you are thoughtful, compassionate, and creative. Your energy is compelling and needed. Start your 2028 campaign under the Country First banner in Feb. 2025.

YES!!!

I don’t disagree, but I’m wondering if most Americans are capable of appreciating an honest, straightforward politician. 💔

If more Americans would take a minute to listen to what moderate Democrats and Republicans have to offer the country, we just might have a functioning government.

And the 3rd party we so desperately need.

I'm done with CNN. Turned on TV this morning and Trump surrogate saying that if Donnie said he was unaware of Project 25 and Heritage Foundation, NO problem nothing to see here and Jim Acosta was nodding his head up and down like a bobble head. Donald Trump gave a speech to the Heritage Foundation and said he couldn't win without them. I have noticed a change in CNN and they are becoming an channel of opinion and not reporting. Legacy Medial is pitiful. NONE of them, to what I can see ( I can be corrected) NO one reported on three planes, at Dulles Airport, out on the runway, far to the side, three planes. Russian government, Saudi AND Trump. I don't know, why doses that un nerve me?

Really like this format Adam, and of course you cannot answer everything but you have done justice to all you could answer and perhaps maybe do this once a month, or couple of months. It's been very informative and your perspective is always welcome.

I hope all is well at your home. Be safe.

I'm not watching CNN anymore for the same reason.

I just went into CNN's site and let them know I'm not watching them anymore even though it breaks my heart. There's so many I love watching, especially Adam! Thank goodness he's still on telling the truth!

Adam, I wish you were able to run as an Independant candidate. I admire you so much.

This would be solved with the passage of open priparies with RCV, a movement that is sweeping the nation.

I did not put forth a question but read all of them and many seemed to be asking for me. I really love your messaging in your answers. I feel validated, reassured and hopeful. I will surely sink in the depths of despair again as it is difficult to stay up all the time but you are helping me and countless others get through this uncertain and frightening time in our history.

Great first Q&A!! Looking forward to more! Guess what Adam, you're our guy riding in on the white horse for keeping us going!

The thing I enjoyed the most was your take on our interaction! Like you said it's up to us to make the difference and if we can show YOU that we have it in us, then it gives us courage to pass this on to others outside this group!! Thank you and God bless!

Adam, I enjoyed the video. I'm not as optimistic as you are, hope I'm wrong. As a moderate Democrat I disagree with you on some things, but that's beside the point. I have so much respect for your bravery. You stood up to Trump re: impeachment and moreover, you were the only Republican to talk about the 25th Amendment, which even Liz Cheney did not do. I am so impressed by your principles and courage I am actually tearing up. I'm an Atheist so I cannot pray for your safety, but I fervently hope that you and your family will remain safe.

Thank you!

First Q&A excellent. I have a request rather than a question. Please address the following: Our Founding Fathers, Jefferson in particular, warned his colleagues about possibilities very much like our present problems, DJT is not the leader of a movement - he is sadly just the chosen one of a dark concept to destroy the ideas voiced in The Declaration of Independence . While we are mired in the present issues we desperately need to realize that only in remembering do we make the past present and thereby help us direct our focus on the future.

Precisely.

Thank you for taking my question re you as VP. I mean, a coalition gov't did just become a thing in France yesterday, so maybe there's still hope.

Thank you for your video today Adam!Glad to hear that you’re all safe from the hurricane!Thank you for answering as many questions as you did!Stay safe and hopefully your power comes back soon!

It occurs to me that Trump's constant drumbeat regarding the "patriotic"J6 prisoners sound is so deafeningly loud is that he will establish them as his own SS guards. Will then the Oathkeeper Stewart Rhodes become Chief of Homeland Security and Enrique Terrio , the department of Defense in case Trump gets to contaminate the WH again. . Does everyone agree? what are your thoughts.? Also Adam, would love to see you back in the house as soon as you feel it's safe to riun.

Great video Adam! Thanks for your no nonsense advice and emotional support! It's a tough time and mental health is being challenged by this craziness!

I am surprised how no one talks about the right wing media. Unfortunately the only news MAGA supporters get is from those sources. The question then is how do we reach them with the truth.

This was great Adam! Thank you! The more I hear you the more I like you! I just hate that we have to wait until 2028 to get through this. I hope we can at least stop the bleeding this November.

Adam if you have not watched it yet - please watch Bad Faith on Amazon Prime Video. It is a 99 cent rental. Steve Schmidt appears in it. Eye-opening about many things and it definitely should be something that everyone sees because it will show us what the Heritage Foundation has in store for us when Trump wins.

Adam, your first Q&A video was great !!! I like the questions coming from "regular" people, not professional interviewers, then you responding. These Q&As provide a really nice insight about how you analyze issues. Thanks for doing this first one and I look forward to seeing more when you have time!

Love your thoughts on running as an Independent. I really do think there needs to be an entirely new party that picks up people in the middle like me.

I am soooo disappointed in Biden. He's turned into Trump before my eyes. Self-centered with delusions of grandeur.

I'm a lifelong Democrat. I'm 68 now. I just re-registered as a No Party in California. I have no home either. Would love it if movers and shakers like you started up something new.

I'd become a member of that party in a minute. We need diversity which, in the Democratic Party, has become mostly about race, not ideas. It didn't used to be tjat way.
