“CNN hosting McCain-Graham town hall tonight!”
Good grief, why don’t those two guys just get a room?
First, he had nothing to loose. If they had put up a sitting official they might have said something that would either alienate their fanatical leftist base or that could be used against them in future campaigns. This suggests the dems KNOW their views are not well aligned with the American public.
Second, they don't have that many sitting governors to send out.
You are correct.
I and mostly deaf and can read lips somewhat well.
At one point I thought I saw her say, to someone or herself, “Were not gonna top this crap.”.............
The only thing missing was Clarabell coming in at the end with his seltzer bottle and squirting Steve Beshear in the face.
I thought the Democrats were going to have two responses to Trump’s speech, one by Bashear and one in Spanish by a DACA recipient.
We just watched the response online. Yes - where did they dig this guy up. This was the best they could do?? Probably no one else wanted to refute Trump. Even this old coot didn’t, not really. Reminded me of Kasich - my dad was a mailman - this is what we did in Ohio - speech.
The democrats were showcasing their deep bench in their response.
Maddow’s a lot of things, but she is neither stupid nor inarticulate.
They reminded me of Farrakhan’s women all dressed in white. Did Keith Ellison drop the suggestion to them to all wear white?
It is one thing for legislators to have an open and
ongoing feud with a president from their own party.
But when they allow themselves to be used as pawns
by a media source that is antithical to all that their
political party represents then we’re talking way
past despicable. Or is this a joke?
The Democrats have up and coming stars that they might have showcased. Kamala Harris and Cory Booker come to mind. Barring indictment, at least one and very possibly both of them will be on a national ticket within the next three cycles. But for purposes of this speech, the Democrats' problem was that they've painted themselves so deep into the identity politics ghetto, and so thoroughly alienated white voters in the process, that they have no plausible national candidate who can appeal across ethnic lines.
It's pathetic for the Democrats, who are a coalition of color and proud of it, and who boast about the rise of the minority/youth alliance, to resuscitate an old white guy and put him in a room full of mostly old white guys, with not a single Asian or woman of color, not a single hispanic, not a single college activist type, and only one sort-of black guy. It would be difficult to find a group less representative of what the democratic party looks like today.
Probably not. No hijabs...............
McCain/Graham, can they get a sheet of paper between them?
that's obviously what Beshear did last night. His speech was ridiculous in light of the speech that President Trump had just concluded.
Booby Jindal's was painful to watch.
Bobby, not booby. That was a typo...not an editorial comment.
Prospects For Dems Working With Republican Majority For Good of Nation Displeases Maddow
You get the idea.
She looked just like Hillary before she feinted.
I’d imagine the dems probably had two responses in the wings. Someone with political “gravitas” in the unlikely event President Trump dropped the ball...and then there was this guy with nothing to lose.
