Twenty-four days. I’m so proud of every person who keeps showing up for this fight. We can do this. Onward.

Sam, I can’t wait to see the Repubs out. We have so many really great New Democrat candidates on the ballot. So exciting. The governor races are exciting as well! And slit of down ballot. 🌊🌊🌊

"Our beloved Republican Party"? What "beloved" Republican Party? Doesn't he mean "My beloved MAGA Party" ('party' is a misnomer, but I'll let it sit here for the moment . . . terrorist group might be more appropriate . . . or the Let's Celebrate Stupidity and Bigotry Party)?

The win I want to wake up to includes Talarico, Turek, Hamilton, Brown, Peltola, and others who can help return character and decency to our weakened, demoralized, ineffective Congress . . . who can help restore our belief that we are a principled nation with allegiance to our Constitution and respect for the rule of law, who will help address the real problems we face, who can help erase the sense of shame so many of us carry with us day in and day out thanks to the actions of this depraved, corrupt, vengeful administration, who believe that governance is not a reality television show but reality itself, and who can help restore international respect for the country we once were.

You are absolutely correct. The GOP started it's demise when the Tea Party started it's movement. MAGA killed it. The Party of Lincoln is no more.

Why did you leave out Dr.Abdul El Sayed MD PHD with his plans for Medicare for all, plus his understanding of the tech issues, from your list? He is a deeply thoughtful candidate and would be the first Public Health Physician ever elected to Congress.

No seat should be considered unwinnable. Angie Nixon, I'm looking at you.

The majority doesn’t care what grade he gives himself. We know better.

Scott I think Trump is just crazy enough to want to beat down his own party for his perceived treason against him. Good analysis. I’d grade him a big fat F. We have never been weaker or more vulnerable.

"He doesn’t want senators, he wants a room full of cult members who clap."

And 77,000,000 Americans considered "clapping cult members" to be the epitome of good governance....

Every year, tens of thousands of Americans assist others in bettering their lives. Let’s celebrate that, not these self-absorbed repugnant blowhards.

I give trump a grade of F-. He should be expelled from school.

Lynne Wies's avatar

I give him an F-

Livy Hitchcock's avatar

Is there such a thing as an F-??? That is the grade I would give tRump.

The win I insist we wake up to on Nov 4 is a Blue Majority in both the House and Senate… Unquestionable.

What a joy to read this on a lovely autumn Saturday. Scott, I thought the OCTOBER SURPRISE was going to be against Democrats. Looks like the October Surprise has gone the other way….what surprise! πŸ˜‚

It’s important that I share this bc we need it now as well a message to our candidates, I will check first to see if shows here or not. Worth reading

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/press-and-news/clinton-presidential-center/dont-stop/ and this from Clinton’s Foundation

β€œAs President Clinton put it years later, the song is "about tomorrow. It's about hope. It's about thinking about the future."

That belief still drives the work of the Clinton Foundation. It means bringing people together to tackle hard problems, investing in communities, creating opportunity, and finding practical ways to make life better for people around the world. It means believing that progress is possible, and then doing the work to make it happen. β€œ

and the song Don’t Stop Thinking about Tomorrow by Fleetwood Mac
