The unique perspective and provocative opinions of Joe O’Neill
Dem Notes
All
indications, including recent Iowa polling, indicate Elizabeth Warren is
notably ascendant among primary candidates. Now she has earned the endorsement
of the labor-aligned Working Families Party. In 2016, the WFP endorsed
Bernie Sanders.
Former
Democratic presidential candidate Bill de Blasio: “It’s clearly not my
time.” Clearly.
Dems
have to be careful about overthinking the “electability” approach to the
nomination. “Too moderate,” “too progressive,” “too idealistic,” “too old,”
“too frenetic,” “too young and gay,” “too much baggage” are not the
disqualifiers of another era. That’s because the opponent is Donald Trump, an
unhinged con man who morphed from “The Apprentice” to the president, and all
bets are off in this deplorably “new normal.”
“Joe
Biden’s record of getting things done speaks for itself. He has always put the
American people above party lines and will continue to as president.” That was
Congressman Charlie Crist, D-St. Petersburg, who has endorsed Biden.
