It is not the critic who counts.

Reagan Airport
The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty. A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticize work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities -- all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority, but of weakness. - Theodore Roosevelt, 1910.

This is a guy that left everything on the field during this campaign. A true leader for our party 🫡
I am grateful for the united effort of so many Republicans across Ohio. Our cause was just and our fight goes on. Thanks to so many who worked with us and to everyone who welcomed me into their counties over these many months. We move on with great resolve and with much to do.🇺🇸

The truth is, Frank wants to be a Senator. And he is desperate to placate extremists in his own party who want to take away women’s reproductive rights. So he’s trying to silence our voice in an anti-Democratic coup. It’s sad. Because he knows better.
