are terms that should be attached to Trump - even if he isn't convicted. Democrats need to play below the belt once we have a nominee. Any reference to Trump during debates, interviews or in public the term Impeached and/or racist should be used. Drill it home because if he isn't convicted in Senate the public will need to be reminded 24/7. No more Mr. Nice Guy
VP picks
Given the age and ethnicity of our likely nominee AND the necessity to bring our base and more moderate elements of party together- I think the VP pick this cycle is crucial. It could, literally, boost or impede our nominee. Typically it's a safe choice. This time it could be a demographically risky choice...
Klobuchar on Fox at moment
talking about a public option, how big promises by some of our candidates are unrealistic. Very well spoken and glad to see her appear unafraid. I don't watch Fox but it's on at gym..
Debates and Bill Clinton
Having been actively involved in progressive politics for 30 years, I always watch these campaigns and ask "where is our Bill Clinton". Now, Obama was my favorite and the comparisons are similar but..... I've never seen a better campaigner. Ever. Bill was an educated redneck. He could wow a room at Harvard and a bonfire full of hillbillies in Chattanooga. He, like Obama brought together a coalition of liberals, moderates and conservative Democrats. He bridged the divide ( similar to Obama). He was cool, had real life problems and demons and the young people related. Better yet- he didn't bend. He fought, he threw punches, James Carvell style. I'll never forget seeing him in late Sept, an outsider who jumped in late and was discounted due to affair allegations and low name recognition. I told my buddy then- this guy is our next President. We don't have a Clinton or Obama this time. There has to be one out there. Yes, times have changed but they are there and when they appear- you just know it. Sorry, just reminiscing
Impeachment Timeline
I don't have a lot of time to follow hearings in real time but whatever happens, is there a guesstimate on when a vote to impeach would take place?
A country divided
It really is a wash. Congress is split. After this week, the Governorship make up is 26-24 ( GOP). The number of state legislature seats are 52-48% ( although GOP has a few more majorities). The state AG make up is 51-49 in Democrats favor. The Nation is essentially split..
Gov Edwards
I have two friends ( one from LA and one from GA) helping GOTV in LA as we speak. They both are pretty well connected to the Democratic party in LA. They both are upbeat and confident that Edwards wins tonight. Fingers crossed. If anyone lives in LA - keep.us posted today.... Good luck
LA Gov race
I almost forgot about the election in Louisiana tomorrow. The fact that it's close is comforting. If the Democrats pull this off after VA, KY and TWO trips by Trump to rally the GOP- the sky will have fell on Trump.
