Thomas Friedman On How Trump Is A Chump

I've detested Friedman since forever, but he's got ideas about how to literally intrigue Independent, small business and even Republican voters to vote Democratic. He should know them, after years of doing all the PR sell for the U of C school of economics. He's worth a look, since he really wants Democrats to win.

1. I saw this segment this morning (we wake up ungodly early)

and agree with Friedman.

2. Fantastic bit by Friedman, right?

Shocking but I have to agree he has the pulse of the electorate. He clearly gets that Bernie will never win, as all polls clearly show at this point in time. Bernie should start registering voters while campaigning in red states for other candidates. If Warren and Harris - when she decides what her actual position is - drops the concept of Medicare for all maybe they will also have a chance to win the general election. BUt we have to start acting like passionate Dems and not responding with love but with action. Everytime we get angry we should register voters. Hit the streets with a sign. One on one interaction in ever CD!

3. He was totally ON it about channeling outrage into voter registration waves. I like him this way.
