Congratulations on the birth of your first child, Charles. I hope mother and baby are doing well. If Donald brings you half the joy that my children have brought me, you'll be a lucky man.

Clearly, you're going to take a bit of time off; it's the right thing to do. But time's tight right now, so we need you back as soon as possible. We're relying on you to beat the liars and the bigots. (Or to give them a bloody nose at least. I know that hoping for a win is a bit unrealistic.)
