Quitting is un-American. Asking someone to quit is un-American.
We are not - nor have we ever been - a nation of quitters. We are a nation of fighters - in heart, soul, and spirit. We are a people of courage and fortitude who persevere despite tremendous odds. We stand for what we believe in. We never back down. We always persevere. And despite any odds, no matter how great, we never, ever quit.
What if President Lincoln had said, "You know this struggle is tough. The odds are against me. I quit." What if he had backed down? What if he had quit?
What if the suffragettes and the abolitionists had backed down because the odds were against them? What if they had allowed themselves to be silenced? What if they had quit?
What if our soldiers, in every war from the Revolution, to WWII, throughout our history, had not held their ground? What if they, when faced with tremendous odds, had just said "I quit"?
They didn't quit. And Hillary Clinton hasn't quit. Because we are not a nation of quitters. We are a nation of fighters. We are a nation of those who persevere. We are a nation of those who refuse to be silenced, who refuse to back down, who refuse to quit. This spirit of tenacity, strength, and resolve has made us the great and inspiring nation that we are. This spirit of can-do, never-say-die optimism and fortitude is at the very core of who we are. This is the spirit of America. And we should ask no less, expect no less, and demand no less from our President.
This courage and strength - this spirit of tenacity, perseverance, and resolve, this optimism, fight, and fortitude - is at the very core of Hillary Clinton. This is the very nexus of who she is. And this essence and this spirit is what we need, and what we should demand, from our President and our leaders.
Don't ask Hillary to quit this race. No candidate yet has the required number of delegates to become the nominee of the Democratic Party. This race is alive. And Hillary's candidacy is alive and continues to inspire millions of people across this country and around the world.
Quitting is un-American. Would we want a President who is a quitter? I think not.
Hillary Clinton is just showing, yet again, that she is a leader of fight and fortitude, who will always believe, and who will never quit. This is what we should want and demand in our President. And this is who Hillary is.
