The VP nominee should be either Cory Booker or Stacey Abrams

Since the Presidential nominee is going to be white, there needs to be a person of color on the ticket to motivate minority voters.

If the nominee is Warren or Klobuchar the VP should be Booker.

If it is Sander, Biden or Buttigieg, then is needs to be Abrams.

Thoughts?

What role will Evangelicals play in the election?

We all know that white evangelicals love Trump. However, his support is weakening a bit. They won't vote for a Dem but some may stay home on election day. When Bush faced the same problem in 04, Karl Rove made sure same sex marriage initiatives were on the ballot in several key states to bring out white evangelicals to vote.

This year I wonder if some white evangelicals who are not too crazy about Trump might be driven to the polls to vote against a gay man or a Jewish man or a Catholic or any woman. Thoughts?

Van Jones made a questionable claim on Real Time

that the DNC rigged the 2016 primary. While it was shown that some had a bias for Clinton, I don’t recall there ever being ever evidence of them taking any action to rig the outcome. Is there?

Here is a link to his comments:

What is he talking about?

Why does MSNBC keep putting Michael Moore on?

He was on The Last Word tonight and it is the third show he was on this week. Why?

Remember when the GOP and everyone in the media freaked out

when Bill Clinton said hello to his old friend Loretta Lynch on an airport tarmac.

Those were the days!

When people are convinced they are right

and everyone else is wrong, those that disagree with them are no longer just people with a different opinion but are evil. Thus, any tactic to fight them is acceptable because they are evil and must be defeated. So any lie is ok. Any smear is fine. Demonization is not only ok but encouraged. The right has operated like this for decades. Unfortunately we are now seeing the rise of this on the left. It needs to stop now. We’re better than that.

If Bloomberg really wanted to defeat Trump

he should buy FAUX news. He can afford it.
