Confrontation with Right-Wing caller on Trump's impeachment.

A caller to Politics Done Right was ready for a fight attempting to use Biden's son's use of nepotism for a lucrative job as justification against Trump's impeachment. This approach neutralized his position.

Because I expect that we could put up just about any candidate and win, I do not think Biden will cause us to lose the 2020 presidency. What he will do is drop the enthusiasm from the portion of our base that does not vote but would have voted in 2020 for a candidate with policies that make a material difference in their lives. Biden-like candidates will prevent Democrats from taking over more statehouses, the Senate, and expansion in the House. In other words, they are a menace to proper redistricting which would make for fairer elections.

I think it is important that we have this discussion lest, like after 2016, it leaves a bad taste of what we left on the table. A marginal win is no longer goos enough.

On the phone? Maybe Alex Jones! What a bunch of propaganda induced psycho-babble!

I do not know who Sean Hannity is, or even who Alex Jones is.
I avoid Fox news. I was impressed and surprised by discovering
Willis.

difficult to frame that way for many. We must be proactive IMHO.
