David Brock will join group of Democratic leaders in Florida for Inauguration.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/trump-inauguration-democrats-departures-233624


"Democratic attack dog David Brock is gathering more than 150 top Democratic donors in south Florida over inauguration to discuss how to hold the incoming Trump administration accountable and plot strategy for Democrats to win in 2018 and 2020.

"A source close to him said the retreat is attracting James Carville, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood and Ilyse Hogue of NARAL, along with some Democratic officials from the federal and state levels sharing their views with donors."

I wish that group success in figuring out how to push back against Trump and his group of deplorables!

after his apologies to Bernie and Bernie's followers.

The struggle goes on and it looks like Brock will play an important role.

Thank you though for your personal attack against me! That's the first one I've had today and it's motivating me to get to work!

7. My number one wish is for a strong, strong media presence to combat FOX.

Throughout the South and Central U.S., there is no free progressive programming that is on the air continuously.

Bernie and others have talked about this deficit in progressive communication. If progressives don't tell their story loudly, widely, and repeatedly, the FOX will win every time.

I think Hartmann would be a great host on the show, as would Rachel, Lawrence, Hayes, Cenk, Grandholm, etc. I sure would like a lot of Robert Reich unleashed, etc.

Any reactions?
