Good god she is brilliant: "I'm not running "from the left." I'm running from the bottom."

50. Alexandria will be heavily promoted as the head of the Blue Wave Democrats

She is becoming a national figure, and she is not even in Congress yet.

Alexandria's strongest, most powerful, most influential supporter, the person making her a national figure is easy to guess - TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

trump hurting from desperate separated children coverage among Republicans also. trump needs to divert attention from issues that don't help him. trump himself smiling and talking democrat 'ABOLITION'. trump will run on this hard until the election . . . and any President has a big megaphone. Cable news seems to be putting ABOLITION ahead of desperate separated children in coverage recently. We need to take advantage of trump's bold, loud mistakes. Not let trump take advantage of our bold, loud, political problematics.

For all their faults, we won with LBJ, Carter, Bill Clinton and lost with the many, more liberal [now forgotten] candidates.

This is a huge election coming up. The Republicon machine must be interrupted. If we don't learn the lessons of history, we are bound to repeat [the above usual liberal losses]. We may not like some of the results of democracy, but we need to respect the process, and those beyond our base. I'm not a centrist, etc. I do want and need Democrats to win though.
