Super Tuesday is behind us. Now Michigan and Ohio.

Super Tuesday is behind us. Liz Warren is behind us.

Trade policy is Bernie's strong issue.
Now is Michigan and Ohio.

I would love to see some more internet posts on jobs and trade. The TV news doesn't talk about it because their owners love the corporate trade deals. NAFTA, TPP and China are huge issues right now in this states.

I made some posts:

Where is he today

Nebraska- A win
Kansas- A win
North Carolina for a forum

Tomorrow? Edwardsville IL. Population 24,000 274 miles from Chicago

Just not really feeling a sense of urgency and I'm questioning if we are indeed trying to find a path to win.

but he could not step foot in Kansas or Nebraska and we are winning it.

We need to win the big ones or it's over if it isn't too late already. The other side went for the delegates from the start. We are going for states instead of delegates.

But agree to disagree on this one.

I think our strategy moving forward has to be a lot more aggressive, especially in the urban areas of the delegate heavy states.

I think we are wasting days and time on the states we are already going to win. No offense to them, we just don't have the time.

What are the issues we can talk online to help get control of the message?

What should be the conversation? Should it be a debate over whether bernie bros stalked Liz Warren? Should it be a debate over why black people tend to vote for Hillary?

No, we should be talking about how Hillary was for NAFTA and TPP and trade with China. We should be talking about how to create good paying jobs.

You don't win by being right. You win by controlling the message and shifting the terms of the debate to grounds where you might be able to win.

It's about 1.5 hours from St. Louis city. He'll draw people from Illinois *and* Missouri, which both vote on the 15th. Wish I could go, but it was only announced yesterday--not enough time to take off work.
