Have you heard of dancing bear syndrome, Samuel?

It's the idea that when you see a bear dancing, you don't criticize him
for dancing badly -- you give him credit for dancing at all.

Tonight, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America is hosting both
candidates at a primetime Commander-in-Chief forum. It is going to
be the first real test of Donald Trump's mettle as a general election
candidate, and I'm afraid that as long as he manages not to burn the
place to the ground, we're in for an earful about how he looked
"presidential" or has become a more serious candidate.

Samuel, we can't just keep holding Donald Trump to the dancing
bear standard.

I will be watching closely -- and I hope you will, too -- because we need
to hold him accountable for his past words and deeds, regardless of
what he says on stage tonight.

We can't let folks forget this is the same man who insulted American
prisoners of war.

The same man who lied about the charitable donations he's given to
support our veterans.

The same man who personally attacked a Gold Star family who dared
speak out against him.

The same man who has reportedly questioned why we don't use the
nuclear weapons at our disposal and threatens to alienate some of our
most important allies every time he opens his mouth.

Donald Trump has proven time and again that he is uniquely and
fundamentally unqualified to be our Commander-in-Chief. So if you can,
pitch in $3 or more so we have the resources we need to keep him far
away from the Oval Office:

Thanks, Samuel. I'll talk to you soon.
