The #walkaway Campaign is a true grassroots movement, founded by former liberal, Brandon Straka on May 26th, 2018. The #walkaway Campaign encourages and supports those on the Left to walk away from the divisive tenets endorsed and mandated by the Democratic Party of today. “We are walking away from the lies, the false narratives, the fake news, the race baiting, the victim narrative, the violence, the vandalism, the vitriol. We are walking away from a party driven by hate. We are walking toward patriotism and a new, unified America! We are the future of this great nation!”  And as we all know, President Reagan walked away and became President of the United States.  Will Brandon be the second actor to become President?
