Today, Country First released a new ad. I'm a veteran, and I won't stand by while Trump turns our Military into a political weapon. Troops don't belong at polling locations. Yet Trump refuses to rule it out. Keeping our Military away from the Ballot Box isn't partisan, It's American.

You can Photoshop a Medal of Honor onto Trump’s chest. You can’t Photoshop an ounce of honor into the man. Artificial intelligence. Artificial courage. Artificial patriotism. His only lifelong service has been to himself.
