  1. Hoping that is enough - 15 points in polling is not as safe as it would seem. But a few months ago he was ahead only 3 %. Debates help, and Kennedy does not do well in the debates.

  2. She got NO airtime except when she was the guest of Senator Sanders. Every candidate that crosses the threshold gets time slots for people to "nominiate" him or her (that is a formality if you will, they do that every time). Sanders got 2 time slots * with 60 or 90 seconds. he chose a man named ? King (union guy) and AOC. If he had not picked her, she would not have spoken at all. * Sanders made that clear in a recent interview ? MSNBC interview, and David covered it. Sanders should have taken another woman of color - and announced that in advance with a tweet explaining WHY he did not chose AOC. - Not to snub AOC like the DNC did, but to make it abundantly clear how much they rub it in that they are hell bent on ignoring progressives. Most people do not watch live and the news only show small snippets anyway. So it may appear to naive viewers that she was given some time. Nope. Only through the backdoor and then only 60 - 90 seconds. Oh yes - they wanted to SHOW how they ignore them, and one should not compensate for the mistakes of the enemy. Let them do the victory lap. Never interrupt you enemy when they make a mistake. AOC not talking at all at the DNC conventions would drive the message home to all her fans, what the party thinks of them and of AOC.

  4. I missed the FDR quote - was it the "social contract" part ?
