1. Good news!

We can add this to her long list of Congressional endorsements. It will help to have a coalition of support to get things down in Congress. The expected opposition of the Republicans is enough of a challenge.

2. Yes, grand news and Happy Labor day.. I will be heading

out to our local Labor Day picnic soon. Looks like rain but large overhead Shelter picnic area.

3. Loebsack-->has met with all the party's candidates for president, but Clinton most qualified

...........Loebsack’s campaign says the congressman has met with all the party's candidates for president, but in remarks Monday he’ll say that Clinton is the most qualified.

“She has the ideas, the passion, the values that we need in our next president,” Loebsack will say, according to his campaign. “To put it simply, she knows how to work with others and get things done. That is why I’m proud to stand with her today and announce my support for Hillary Clinton for President.”

Loebsack also will say that Clinton understands “what makes this country so great: a strong and growing middle class.”

“I have spent my time in Congress fighting to expand the middle class … and to grow an economy that works for all Iowans,” Loebsack will say. “And I know that is what Hillary Clinton has spent her life fighting for."

But ... if they think Hillary's ship is sinking ... how can rats jump ON a sinking ship? I wonder if they can handle the cognitive dissonance ....
