the only problem with the Schiff speech

[mnmoderatedem]

is that I don't think the dem candidate, whoever it is in 2020, can improve on it.

That sentiment MUST be central to the 2020 campaign. I'm no sure anyone can state it more eloquently than he did.

1. disagree, the Presidential Candidate will need to talk about issues like health care, jobs, etc

the Presidential Candidate does not always have to be the one to bring up everything. other members of the party can do it also. and in this case the congress member Schiff on that committee is the perfect one to do it .

Hillary exposed the Trump Putin connection but i think it would have been better for others to bring it up while letting her focus on other areas.

2. Agreed....

I think this issue is important and Schiff and others are doing a bang-up job. And while I want someone as a candidate who will fight back when attacked and who will push Trump's buttons, they need to stay focused on more specific issues that affect citizens every day.

4. FWIW I disagree with your disagree.

Trump boldly asked for Russia to get Hillary's emails during a campaign speech at the GOP convention.

Had Hillary's campaign responded directly with ads pointing that out, the danger to democracy, it could have had a powerful impact along with talking about other issues. The american people aren't dumb, but they are ill-informed and easily distracted if you don't keep them focused on key messages.

3. We are lucky to have candidates who can talk about the issues while at the same time have

representatives who can talk about trump in the committees.

The candidates do not have to use their time mirroring the committees.

5. Equal justice under the law, must be a theme of 2020 for Democrats

It listen tests well with their voters, and Trump is case example 1.
