She was stuck with me. Robin served as the Delaware County Iowa Dem Chair and was very politically active in Iowa. She was a 2016 Bernie state delegate. We attended many rallies, protests and events together and she was always just so thoughtful, composed and passionate. 2/12
She was in a viral video a few years ago when she confronted Sen. Grassley for voting to repeal pre-existing conditions protections. She then appeared on Lawrence O'Donnell to speak about her confrontation and activism. MY GIRL!! She was my activism mentor. 3/12

Deflating morale after scoring a win is a tactic to win more in the future, and we must rise above that.
Coaches and generals know you can lose a battle, but win a war, be losing at halftime, but win the game.

And this happens in politics too. Clinton was winning early in 2008 but did Obama buy into losing or did he claim underdog momentum?
Trump (a sad example) was heavily down in polling to Clinton in 2016 but he quit or did he push forward?

So yes we’re down but it’s not over. Yes we’d prefer to be doing better at this point but frankly it’s amazing that Sanders is doing this well.

This is a gut check for us.
