Trump is scrambling to shut down the Kennedy Center after discovering that American artists and performers won't put up with his partisan takeover and unlawful renaming. And let’s be clear: a remodeling job won't restore the Kennedy Center to what it was. A return to artistic independence will.
Jackson, this is an excellent question. Here's my answer: this is an election, not an auction. I am confident that we will have the resources to compete at the top of the ticket in November. And I know we can win. Let me know what else I can add, and keep on submitting your questions.
