counteract any influence on the 2018.

One good way would put all states back to paper/pencil or ink ballots dropped in a box, then hand counted.

Do something about the gerrymandering. Honor people's registrations. Make it easier for all to vote. These rules come from the states and should be investigated and implemented for a start.

He may have the best intentions and may be strong behind the scenes (at least I hope so). But he does not present as a strong voice of leadership. We need someone who can articulate a profound vision and communicate that in a manner that will reach all factions of the party.

The topic seems to be about Russia influence on the news today. I’m glad he is highlighting it and not turning his extremely short time on the show into something ninety percent of the viewing audience doesn’t want to hear about. Wrapping Russia around the Republicans neck is important.

The DNC is doing a great deal on voter suppression but needs money to do so. I volunteer in this area. We had 200+ poll watchers out in Houston and stopped a great deal of voter suppression by the local idiots.

Here is link to the interview
