Similar situation wit SW Washington Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.
Not your typical Dem, she and her husband run an auto repair shop. Actually run it, not just own it. She had grease under her nails when she left for DC.
True moderate, she defeated Joe Kemp, a big Trump advocate. She broke party lines on student loan debt forgiveness and immigration. She votes along party lines about 2/3 of the time.
Far left progressives want her gone, in spite of her moderate approach. She has a lot of support in her district, but a more moderate republican might unseat her next year. A moderate republican would definitely defeat a far left progressive candidate if she failed to win the primaries.
Kimmel gets his job back. meh
Several affiliates won’t air his show, which won’t help his already pathetic ratings. Basically, he is a dead man walking. I give it no more than 6 months and his show will be cancelled again. Permanently.Colbert owes his job to Trump. Least funny of late night hosts, IMO. His audience grew as he bashed Trump. His numbers have fallen, matching the popularity of the Liberal Left.
Iowa ought to be a model for the entire country. Congressional districts are drawn following county lines.
[quote quote=10554]Democrats are becoming obsessed with Newsom. They think the need a more traditional choice, that they just need to win and they think he’s a winner. Gavin Newsom is becoming an obsession for Democrats beyond California[/quote]
My summary of this article in 5 words. Dems have no one else.
OK, Newsome is leading “Undecided” in the polls. Not what I consider a ringing endorsement. More like – “If I have to pick someone, Gavin looks like a regular guy I could vote for”.
I would love to see a debate between Vance and Newsome.
It will be entertaining to watch heads explode if Trump is even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. 🙂
Yes, the vote was split on party lines, but there were genuine issue-based objections.
-Federal control vs. state control of elections
-Use of taxpayer money for campaigns
-Constitutionality of some ethics provisionsSome Democrats along with Republicans raised concerns about scope and partisanship.
There were parts of the bill that had bi-partisan support, but dems tossed in same day registration, restoration of convicted felon voting rights, required presidential and VP candidates to disclose 10 years of tax returns. Basically tossed a hand grenade into a bill that could have passed on its own.
Trump is not going to investigate Newsome. No reason to investigate the guy. He is the guy most Republicans would like to see run. His last video claiming ICE will show up at polling places to keep illegals from casting a vote is priceless.
[quote quote=10505]https://www.alternet.org/texas-gop-hostage/ Texas lawmaker is being subjected to false imprisonment / unlawful restraint: she was not free to leave unless she signed a form consenting to DPS surveillance. what happened to the “Don’t tread on me” crowd? Turns out they like doing the treading.[/quote]
Nary a peep when Oregon dems fined Republicans $325 each per day for failing to appear to a legislative session.
A distinction without a difference.
Fascinating. When Texas redistricts with a lean toward Republicans, the republic is threatened. California does it and it is to SAVE the republic.
Tough to keep up with the spin….
