    you know AOC is gonna figure out a way to be the center of things

    https://thehill.com/homenews/house/...ngs-kasich-over-criticism-ahead-of-convention

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) of fighting "against women's rights" after he suggested she has received “outsized publicity” relative to her role in the party.

    Kasich, who sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2016, is set to address the virtual Democratic National Convention this week, as is Ocasio-Cortez. In an interview with BuzzFeed News, the former governor suggested the New York congresswoman is the beneficiary of publicity for “people on the extreme.”

    “You know, I listen to people all the time make these statements, and because AOC gets outsized publicity doesn't mean she represents the Democratic Party,” he said. “She's just a part, just some member of it. And it's on both sides, whether it's the Republicans or whether it's the Democrats.”

    Ocasio-Cortez, in a tweet Monday, responded, “It’s great that Kasich has woken up &realized the importance of supporting a Biden-Harris ticket. I hope he gets through to GOP voters.Yet also, something tells me a Republican who fights against women’s rights doesn’t get to say who is or isn’t representative of the Dem party.”

    nonsense. hundreds of thousands of swing voters are going to tune in to learn more about Biden and the Democratic platform, and what they see WILL sway their votes over to the Democratic side. yule c

    I am trying to think of the last time people have been sick of a Presidential election/campaign season this early........ when Clinton ran for re-election people seemed to be pretty disinterested....... but this is different, people are just sick of it all and want the election tomorrow.

    This election really isn't about Joe Biden anyway. The democrats did not have any magical cult of personality candidates like Obama or Bill Clinton that ran.... this election is just a referendum on Donald Trump for good or bad. Everyone knows Joe Biden is "okay" and won't start a war with China or the Kremlin but no one believes he is the next FDR either.

    Who knows, sometimes the President's that are the most successful are one's no one expects much from. Eisenhower was a very successful President. I don't think many people expected much from Reagan going into office... the great James K Polk wasn't supposed to be that great......

    You in particular. Although Cynthia Nixon voters are probably already in the bag.

    Conventions are a relic of the last century. But maybe we'll get a few good speeches to browse on youtube.
    Can't imagine watching a convention live.

    I wonder if Rep. Molinari was the surprise member of Congress that Kasich was hinting at. Christine and Meg Whitman aren't a surprise. They've been anti-Trump for awhile.
