Have I mentioned this week that I love you, Pluckster? ![]()
@littlegirlblue We see eye to eye on most everything but I have a feeling the âClouds and shadowsâ BS Oppo might be a problem for Newsom. A track record of a few years as governor might fix itâif he does even close to as good a job as Jerry Brown, which might not be that easy.
Iâm troubled by Warrenâs decision to attend Emperor Orangeâs coronation.
I donât what the clouds and shadows refers to, never heard of it, but what the right will pin on him is his tenure as mayor of San Francisco when he wholeheartedly and vocally came out for LGBT rights, even performed marriage ceremonies for same sex couples, and theyâd also hang the looney, latte loving, liberal City stuff on him.
Sly dog you.
Clouds and shadows is how , they tell me, Andrea Mitchell, Cokie Roberts et al responded to the egregious transgressions that rendered Hillary Just As Bad as so-called President who-knew.
Like gossipy mongers? Who exist in clouds and shadows?
On Warrenâs book tour courtesy of a fellow TPMer. Sheâs collected $2.3 million in book sales, but was âtroubledâ by President Obamaâs paycheck of $400 K for a speechâŚ
Any idea how much she got paid for her last book? Iâm not sure what she got in total, but in her 2013 financial disclosures, she indicated that Holt paid her an advance of $525,000. In 2014, $625,000. In 2015, $1,150,000. I donât think shes filed for 2016 yet. So, in three years a big publishing house paid a sitting U.S. Senator in excess of $2.3 million for delivering what amounts to extensions of some of her floor speeches and campaign literature. I donât begrudge her for wanting to earn some coin, but she probably shouldnât be throwing stones from that glass house sheâs in. . .
I like him too a whole lot. He really seems to be smart and on the exact right trajectory.
I didnât personally watch or listen to the crap, but it was always âa cloudâ or âa shadowâ over the âdeeply flawedâ candidacy.
I couldnât agree more. There is this idea among the populist Tea Party wing of the Democrats that with the right economic message we can get Trump voters to vote for us.
ROFLMAO
Yeah right - first you have to get them to quit hating liberals. Thatâs their motivation, not money.
I wonder where wife #1 will fit into all of that âŚ
Iâm troubled by a former Republican climbing on a high horse to lecture lifelong Dems on progressive purity.
I donât watch or listen to either of these harpies, but they have to fill all that air time with something, so they settled on a woman pol, and a singular one I might add.
@j.dave A distant bad memory.
Are people other than Californians giving any thought to Adam Schiff running against Feinstein in 2018 for her senate seat? I wouldnât want to see a struggle if she decides to run, which IMHO looks iffier every day, husband with lung cancer, Feinstein fatigue, etc⌠But Adam (with wife Eve haha) would work nicely for me.
Regardless, if itâs a Progressive or Moderate Democrat, I just hope we (as in Democrats and Independents), donât make the same mistake in 2020 as we did this time.
In the meantime, I hope we survive that long.
Adam certainly works for me but of course Iâm not in California.
Iâll take anyone against Feinstein.
Love you too!
He had some very public personal stumbles as (or immediately after being) mayor, so I agree that the oppo could by challenging. He will need some time as governor before heâs ready for a national stage.
I loves plucky too.
Plucky is awesome!
