I so want him destroyed.....

Richard Cordray is leading Dennis Kucinich 57-34 in Kucinich's Cuyahoga County base. That's ... not good for Kucinich

Votes in every county in Ohio show massive lead for Cordray..... Kucinich not leading in one of them.

Guess we can expect that Turner creature on TV screaming all sorts later.....

..........................

Race called for Cordray. Massive win.

17. Cha, is there a candidate challenging Gabbard in Hawaii?

Please say there is...

[Cha]

24. Funny you should ask..

Gabbard will face Congressional challenger in 2018

Her challenger will be another woman leader with a military background and a strong environmental track record.

I'm glad you did.. this is great news!

I have to walk by a big banner sign of gabbard's attached to a fence when I go to where I run. I cover my eye and look away so I don't have to see it. That's how much I don't like her.

Wwcd

[LisaM]

28. Well, don't run into a tree or anything! We need you.

I hope you are just metaphorically covering your eyes on your runs....

[Cha]

eye closest to the fence.. I see to walk past the fence with the other eye.

40. Oh Wow! SHERRY CAMPAGNA - She has a stellar Bio and a Native daughter

On January 21, 2017, Sherry Campagna was in Washington D.C. with a group of 200 Hawaiʻi-based social justice advocates participating in the 2 million-person Women’s March in D.C. to support legislation and policies regarding human rights—especially women’s rights—immigration reform, healthcare reform, reproductive rights, environmental protection, LGBTQ rights, racial equality, freedom of religion and workers’ rights, all of which have become threatened by the ascension of Donald Trump to the White House. It was the largest single-day protest in American history.

As one of the original national organizers of the Women’s March, Campagna helped to rally some 15,000 people on Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island. This was also the largest recorded public demonstration in the history of the state, and in each county.


SNIP
“I decided to run for this very important position because the people of CD2 deserve a representative who will remain a true servant to their needs in Congress,” Campagna said in a press release. “While I am not a politician, I am a proven leader, confident that I will succeed in protecting the people of CD2 and their families, growing a thriving community, and preserving the ʻāina.” According to the release, her priorities will be economic justice, job creation, prison reform, environmental stewardship, healthcare and equal rights.

Snip
But Campagna has her own environmental track record. She is an environmental scientist and small business owner of an environmental planning, permitting, remediation and renewable energy company called Kamaka Green, which was responsible for the master environmental plan for the controversial military live-fire training area at Pōhakuloa on Hawaiʻi Island; the Matson molasses spill emergency response plan; and the plan for Waikōloa unexploded ordnance remediation. Campagna was born in Honolulu, but grew up around the world as “a dependent of the Department of Defense.”

In college, Campagna advocated for racial equality as a Native Hawaiian, then widened her scope to include women’s rights and class disparities. She is a commissioner with the Hawaiʻi Commission on the Status of Women.

“Sherry has long been an outspoken and effective advocate for women’s rights, struggling families, marginalized groups and global responsibility. I enthusiastically support [her] candidacy for Hawaiʻi’s Second Congressional District, as would my sister, the late iconic civil rights attorney, Flo Kennedy,” said Faye Kennedy in the press release sent by the Campagna campaign.

Campagna also founded the nonprofit Olomea, which helps foster kids who are aging out of care. She has been a foster care system reform advocate for over a decade and recently won a landmark court decision based on a class action lawsuit awarding foster families an increase in care payments,

I'm sending this amazing candidate some CASH!!

IMPRESSiVE & a solid Democrat.
I'm also going to submit her name to EMILY'S LIST for support & campaign money sponsorship.

Hello Sherry Campagna!! And Welcome to the Greatest Party on the Planet!!

One To Watch!
Thanks Cha

[Cha]

53. Mahalo so much, Wwcd!

I had to leave to catch a bus and I barely had time to post what I did.. so Thank You so much for bringing the rest over.

She looks nice! Doesn't say but she must think the Islands need someone more suited to their needs than gabbard.



Again, thanks for asking.. and for contacting Emily's List!.. and $$$ her way.

[Me.]

45. Perhaps You Could Draw A Moustache On It

[Cha]

54. Of course, it

crossed my mind. But I really thought of writing a couple of things.. and then reality set in.. I'd be like those people who mess of our signs that we like.

Bad karma.. so I settled for covering my eye as I walk past it coming and going.. I have in down to a science now. There are a lot of other political signs on the fence I can look at. lol

[Me.]

68. True

on the bad karma side but oh how I hope she loses.

[Hekate]

60. Sherry Campagna sounds really good!

All the best to her in getting the seat.

[Cha]

61. Doesn't she! I hope she's

able to capture the hearts and minds of Hawaiians who are just so use to voting for gabbard.. no matter what she's been up to.

[ok_cpu]

10. I'd like to think the 17% are Rs taking a Dem ballot. N/T

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. What happened to Our Revolution ?

[RandySF]

20. Not a good record so far.

[ismnotwasm]

21. Who?

[Wwcd]

29. There really never was a 'revolution'. But it sure was a prosperous way to get a

"Money & Media" campaign going.

As far as I can tell, the Revolution is now a private PAC. Cool Huh!

No one really ever answered as to where all the campaign cash went, but it is perfectly legal to hold that campaign cash forever, as long as its used for anything that may fall under politucal causes.
Its a vague law. Palin had a shitload of leftover campaign cash & has used it for trips for her family etc..as long as she made a brief appearance at some political event.

Its pretty unregulated.
I believe Hillary has used her campaign funds to advance her Onward Together Pac, & along with Howard Dean, has supported many grassroots organizations.
The Alliance for Youth Action, the Arena, the Collective PAC, Color of Change, Emerge America, Indivisible, iVote, Latino Victory, Run for Something, Swing Left, and Voto Latino all have amazing plans for 2018.

These groups, funded by HRC's Onward Together Pac are taking on everything from the midterm elections to restrictive voting laws to the lack of diversity in our elected officials, and they’re doing so in smart, inventive ways.

I have heard nothing as to Our Revolutiin Pac funding any of these outstanding grassroots groups.

[sprinkleeninow]

64. Stinky. 🤣

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. Please let it be so. I cannot stand him. n/t

[MineralMan]

13. Oh, what a surprise!

[Wwcd]

15. All it took was Tulsi's endorsement to nosedive those #'s.

Both have so little voice among those who want Trump gone.

Appears one has less than the other, today.

[mcar]

16. Hope it holds

[Tiggeroshii]

22. Lovin it

Yeah kucinich seems to have lost his mind recently. Im excited to see the signs pointing to a steady win for cordray in November.

[mvd]

26. Well, at least Kucinich's issue positions are still mostly in tact

Don't like some of his Trump apology however and unfortunately he's not a good candidate. I did support him at one time when he wasn't this weird.

[Wwcd]

33. Yup. I did also, long ago. Not anymore, he is way off in the fringe anymore.

[hatrack]

27. Good!!

[still_one]

30. Good

[Scurrilous]

32. He'll always have FOX.

[Wwcd]

34. Tulsi will too! They can go together.

[Scurrilous]

36. That makes 2 places they can go together.

[Wwcd]

41. 😁

[Hortensis]

35. Good!!! Heard him badmouthing Dems on TV just the other day.

[peggysue2]

37. Kucinich deserves to be walloped

As for this:

Guess we can expect that Turner creature on TV screaming all sorts later.....

[Jose Garcia]

38. The race will probably tighten up a bit once

preceints in suburban Moscow report their numbers.

[Wwcd]

42. Rofl..

Suburban Moscow, Russia?
Aaaahhhaaaahaa

[herding cats]

46. Oh, dear!

I dropped my tablet almost I laughed so hard when I saw your message body!

63. Aloha, George

[RandySF]

52. Our Revolution is having a meltdown all over social media.

[Cha]

56. Because they're

upset that Kucinich lost?

[RandySF]

57. And they believe Elizabeth Warren betrayed them.

[Cha]

58. Oh dear what did Senator Warren do..

endorse Cordray?

[Cha]

59. Oh never mind..

[NurseJackie]

69. Not at all unexpected. It reveals much about that group...

... and I have to say, it doesn't paint a very flattering picture. It illustrates the worst traits about "Our Revolution" that many people have been noting along along. And, for obvious reasons, that's all I'm willing to say.

[Hortensis]

71. Wish a REAL, competent kick-ass group would replace

these incompetent losers.

There are two ways to force change, from inside (usually by far the most effective) and outside.

Supporting weak candidates who can't win is really in effect pretending to try from inside but actually from outside, and doing a piss-poor job of it.

And if those candidates end up throwing the election to the Republicans, losing a Democrat who would have ranged anywhere from mildly progressive (blue dogs) to very but too static (most Democrats), all is lost.

So far, these foolish groups have been doing both. And their very few victories of inserting people chosen from "outside" are almost entirely of new, untried people with little record of achievement or integrity in the face of corruption. Will they be as good even as the politicians they displaced? Usually no one has any idea yet.

Instead of rejecting all politicians who've supported mainstream Democratic Party goals.
All progressives who really want kick-ass politicians, which is pretty much all of us, need to choose for dynamic, proven competents who will commit to fighting for larger goals and who can be elected to fight from inside.

That requires placing issues before whatever fatal flaw is causing these current little groups to prefer failing with losers who'll wave a dissident banner over success.

[RandySF]

73. I don't think most of these groups are as foolish as inexperienced.

The 2016 election brought out a lot of new activists who will get better as they accumulate wisdom.

[Hortensis]

74. Oh, sure. Many of those drawn are inexperienced and drawn

for good reasons. I share their ideals but am too old to equate passionate rhetoric with ability to achieve or to fail to recognize dissonance between rhetoric and action over time. I've learned to keep an eye out for tendencies to dishonesty and bad judgement also.

It's the leaders and core followers of these dysfunctional radical dissident groups who are the type I'm talking about. The ones who, for instance, couldn't ally with mainstream Democrats to achieve healthcare reform, negotiating to go farther, because their inner devils required them to instead fight to defeat Democratic Party reform and then, theoretically, replace it with their own.

I say theoretically because the types I'm talking about never can successfully ally with people who basically share their goals and almost always ultimately fail. FDR tried to bring them into his administration and enact reforms with their input, but that didn't work. They wanted revolution, an end to capitalism, couldn't compromise, and the New Deal programs were basically created without them.

What we need are non-radicals who are committed to radical reform. Like in FDR's administration; Francis Perkins, our first woman cabinet secretary, is an outstanding example. Thomas Jefferson was one also. Unlike FDR, he and his fellow revolutionaries didn't even try to work with the radicals of their day, way too busy fighting for independence from England and then trying to hold it all together before it fell apart. Jefferson famously advised that talking with them was a waste and best to avoid it.

[Wwcd]

72. 😁

Gee how disappointing

Our Rev sure isn't very good at picking winners are they.

[treestar]

76. Obviously the DNC rigged it

[Blue_Tires]

75. Dennis is nuts

and I say that as a Dennis '04 supporter...

[Gothmog]

77. Another defeat for an Our Revolution endorsed candidate

[Mendocino]

78. Good News

Cordray getting momentum up for other OH house races like Michael Galbraith vs RW puke Bob Latta.
