A 2020 win without winning at least 1 leg of the Congress in 2018 means nothing.

So start running people for every office from the highway, town council, school districts and library office. It doesn't matter if they win or not, it is an audition.

People need to learn how to become part of the system. Running for an elected office is more of an art than politics.

Listen more than you talk, and never make a hard promise.

Start worrying about 2020 in 2019.

I'm gonna laugh at them because people gonna do what they're gonna do.

And we had several today, one after the other, it was mystifying. I'm sure Perez and Ellison would find them mystifying too.

All of the seats in the House are up for grabs. There's fertile ground there and Trump's policies are bound to backfire when people start losing benefits.
