She is the kind of person who would make sure that the cake was shared with many people. Trump would probably eat as much of the cake as he could in front of people and then throw the rest in the garbage.

Ralston Reports: Culinary Union could serve up a blue Nevada

snip//

If you wanted a glimpse into why the Democrats have such an advantage in Nevada, reflected in early early voting numbers, those workers in that room epitomized the ground game that carried Barack Obama to two wins here, and could propel Hillary Clinton and Catherine Cortez Masto to victories, not to mention state Sen. Ruben Kihuen in a key congressional race.

These were the LOAs of the Culinary Union, the most populous labor organization in the state and one that is emblematic of the diverse population of a state that looks like America. LOA stands for leave of absence, and these dozens of folks — housekeepers and cocktail workers who have benefited from the Cadillac plans their leaders have negotiated, mostly with casinos — have volunteered this cycle to put their jobs on hold to turn out voters for their chosen candidates.

Of Culinary’s 57,000 members, more than 30,000 are Hispanic and nearly 7,000 are African-American. And on the eve of the election, nearly 60 percent – 34,000 – of the union’s members are registered to vote, a record total for Local 226.

You want more numbers? I have them: With 45 organizers, the team in Reno has knocked on more than 62,000 doors, and in the South, that number is an eye-popping 220,000 doors.

The rest of the exciting story..

61. James Franco: Hillary is the most interesting woman in the World!
Thu Oct 27, 2016, 10:49 AM
Oct 2016


Hillary Clinton can add James Franco’s endorsement to her list of celebrity backers.

On Wednesday the actor and filmmaker appeared in a $1 million digital ad campaign backing the Democratic nominee. The 30-second ad is a play off the Dos Equis beer “Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign.

The ad features old photos and videos of Clinton — including one of her taking a shot with ease — as Franco narrates.

The smartest guy in the room is always her. After she opens a can of whoopa--- she always recycles the can. Her secret service code name is Hermoine — because she is a f------ wizard, she’s the most interesting woman in the world,” Franco says. “I don’t always endorse candidates, but when I do they’re extraordinary.”
