There is no normalizing what they did to Bolton....no fan...but wrong is wrong. I so enjoy watching you on Ari, I learn so much from you and your expertise in politics. I'm afraid the Dems are not stepping up to the plate, and sadly they are running out of time. Your thoughts?

Well I would say the Dem leadership has been particularly bad. However, I am not sure what you mean by running out of time. Do you mean our nominee could lose to Vance in 2028? Or we would fail to win the House in 2026? I don’t see an evidence of that

My main worry is they will deploy ICE to supress the vote. But based on how well our candidates are doing in NJ and VA, I don’t see evidence that the disastrous performance of our leadership is actually effecting our candidates. If anything it helps to run against them.

I speak of losing the House in 2026, and I'm afraid with all the shit they are trying to pull to with to steal the election. What do you think of Bill Maher saying the Democrats may win the election but they will never take power back? He's not the end all be all but that makes me worry.

First of all, I don’t see any evidence that Republicans keep the house. Trump is an 80 year old who is stuck in his ways (that’s putting it mildly) and isn’t going to get any more popular. However, I do think they are going to try to steal the election.

The main thing they are going to do is use voter intimidation via ICE. Have I heard a real strategy from our leaders on how to keep this from happening? Aside from Gavin, no. But I expect (and hope) we will see more activity on this front.

i hope so. I worry about the barriers they are putting up to stop mail in voting as well the ICE activity that will certainly happen. But these can be overcome with planning and foresight.
