I'm on the Zohran train.

I had a lot of concerns over early missteps but he’s impressed the hell out of me.

1. mostly nice speech but I'm partial to confronting trumpnt

2. Welcome abroad nt

3. I wish him the very best! ❤️

He has a long and hard road ahead of him, with a lot of learning to do. I hope the advice he gets from those offering him hands up helps keep him on his path.

4. The people are yearning for a fighter.

I think there are many people that want to know that you will fight for them. Old school Dems need to embrace him. I think he will energize the base and engage non voters. I am glad Obama extended the olive branch.
I am hearing excuses that Schumer has not embraced him out of fear of not being able to raise money from the big donors. Well see that is part of our problem, the big donors have too much say so.
That depresses the vote. People are tired of the status quo.

5. Where I live, well he wouldn't have a chance now. But damn, I think it's fascinating and hope he does well.

It’s not like he can just dictate anything like trump does. Who knows where this might lead, given a chance.

6. Depends on the policies

According to polls his policies are even popular with Republicans when you poll by his policy proposals. I think he would have a more difficult time winning in other places based on his identity but I think voters are smart enough to look past whether he is a Muslim or a Democratic Socialist and support the candidate based on their policy proposals. Even Bernie Sanders and AOC can draw large crowds in rural and swing districts.

7. +1. If he does well there, it will spread. Bunch of cowboys, etc., here. But they and their mom have to eat

PS: Not sure what “do well” means, probably improvement is fairer. He’s not gonna create utopia overnight, but not like we are headed that way now.

8. His speech was BLISTERING!

and brilliantly delivered! I'm not easily impressed with oratory, but he was masterful.

9. Zohran's speech was forceful and exhilarating

I like what he said and how he said it.
