WHO IS SCHERIE MURRAY? JAMAICAN IMMIGRANT REPUBLICAN WANTS TO TAKE ON ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ IN 2020

"But your representative in Washington chooses self-promotion over service, conflict over constituents, resistance over assistance," Murray adds.
So he opposes Trump? Groovy.

Haha!   It's like that alien machine in Forbidden Planet.  Something takes the dark Id of the Republican mind and turns its contents into a real life monster.

Speaking of the Krell...

Good stuff, Larry.  I hope people will be mining Forbidden Planet for good metaphors for years to come. 

I hadn't paid that much attention to Buttigieg til tonight.   Wow.  He is somehow both dynamic and calm at once, with a kind of charisma that plays well in the midwest, or maybe everywhere.  Intelligent but not wonkish.   He has a way of sounding sensible and authoritative that shouldn't beguile anyone so much that they forget to factcheck.

Bernie still has his political warrior dynamism and big vision, and it was good to see him firing up the crowd.   And I could say much the same for Warren, though as much as I like her I worry that her intense earnestness may be a trait that people either really like or really find irritating.   

Have to watch tomorrow's crew before conjuring any sort of ticket, but after tonight I can imagine a Mayors of Tough Towns ticket (Booker, Buttigieg) or a Dynamic Senate Wonk ticket (Warren, Sanders) or a Pragmatic Irish Centrists ticket (Ryan, Delaney). 

Marianne comes across as a loon.  What she says about American politics could contain much truth, but she's a pretentious nut. 

Beto seems harmless and a bit stressed when called upon to speak.  I think he'd make a fine city councilman in El Paso.

Good to know who scares you, you whiskey dicked saboteur.

Mayor Pete was very good calling out the eunuchs in the republican caucus and showing how the GOP has renounced God for the Antichrist.

Bullock, Bennet, Ryan, and Delaney are all done.

It’s shaping up to be a good primary.

Agree Sanders and Bullock both did okay.   Delaney showed some poise and ability to craft ideas that may appeal to Independents and moderates.

Beto is the Emperor of Dullsville.

Your dismissal of Mayor Pete is incomprehensible.

Ryan, if he moved up, moved from 0.0001% chance of going anywhere to 0.001% chance, but I doubt it was that much.

Four of the five you gave have no reason to run other than for their post-election prospects.

Sanders is the fifth.

Nancy Pelosi <[email protected]>
To:

Jul 30 at 12:05 PM

---I reached out Sunday.
I reached out yesterday, twice.
Now, I’m coming to you for $1 before the End of Month Deadline to defend my Majority from Trump’s despicable attacks.
 ever since Trump took office, he’s been on a mission to move our country backwards.
 
Trump has:
- worked to SLASH our health care to fund his billionaire-first tax scam
- INSULTED vulnerable communities with despicable attacks
- and BLOCKED all the progress our Majority has made
 
I REFUSE to let this go on for another second.
 
Our Democratic presidential candidates are taking the stage TONIGHT to counter Trump’s horrific agenda -- and it’s so important that we stand with them.
 
I know our next president MUST have a fortified Majority to keep our progressive agenda moving forward.
 
That’s why I’m coming to you. Can I count on your $1 to defeat Trump and protect our Democratic Majority before the deadline hits in 24 hours?
 
It’s so important to me that we reach our goal, I’ll personally triple-match every gift until midnight tomorrow.---

Nancee, Nancee once again I am not interested in bringing home  gang bangers, anchor babies and their extensive clan, minority ladies who come from abusive societies and want to roast and eat white males, and cheap nannies. Puhleeze! Put me down with vets, unionists, and patriots. FDR is rolling in his grave.

You are putting yourself down with strike breakers, profiteers, and insurrectionists.

If FDR rolled any in his grave, it would only be to smack some sense into you.

the 64 dollar question;

Would President Pelosi ilk tell NK it would be turned into ash if it fired missiles at USA or any of its allies?  [US allies should all get nukes to save America  the trouble].

A federal judge in New York on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) alleging that the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks and the Russian government had conspired to interfere in the 2016 election.
