on ryan browne's reporting i was saying in the lead-in that at least one military official is calling in uniform that they should resign if -- this should be an opening for them to resign if they don't agree with trump's policies, do you see it that way? do you think that's what jim mattis would have intended? >> i think -- i don't know about being a dog whistle, but i think it serves as a model, a template, for someone with principles to express his concern and his unwillingness to serve further. and so it's not just a message for the military, but i think it's a message for anyone in this administration, notably other cabinet officials. so to me, even in departing, jim has set the model. and i think others need to think about that. now, i have to say, you know, that what precipitated this was a withdrawal from syria. that's a lawful presidential order, but i served as a general officer for about 13 years, and you know, you do think about that. can i serve an administration where i can't agree with the principles? and i think a lot of generals and admirals i think are thinking about

ed and see what message is resounding, if it's kamala harris out of california or tim ryan in ohio or sherrod browner may pull through. it's about getting the message out. frankly folks are smarting doing small dollar outreach and connecting with people via e-mail or twitter, you know. i think that's important. >> let me ask you about that small dollar outreach. that's a key thing. we talk about act blue and their impact during the midterms getting those small dollar donations to candidates. republicans are going to try to put up an act red to make sure they can get in the game when it comes to fund-raising. how do democrats keep up the momentum? >> i think act blue has been around a long time, probably longer than a lot of us realized. they do a really great job. they have figured out a process that makes the fund-raising and the communicating with voters and small dollar contributors really simple, and that's going to be -- having a small dollar, small donor donor base for any 2020 candidate is going to be critical to their success. $1.6 billion was raised for the democratic primaries in 2018 thr
