Tweet it to Malcom Nance - I'm dead serious. I'd be interested in his take. And - I would bet he would respond.

The 25th Congressional District, and he has the massive TYT listener group behind him. That's a lot of votes instantly locked in.

are NOT who they say they are he certainly is NOT the progressive he says he is.

But is using the progressives to further his cause. That FOUR MILLION he took from Roemer makes no dent in the minds of his supporters

At this point, I don't see it making a difference, even under CA's primary rules as I understand them. And if one of 2 left-leaning candidate's cannot finish in the top 2 against two or more right-leaning candidates, we probably wouldn't win in the general election.

And Cenk has been living in the LA area for as long as I have known of him. Someone else said he does not currently live in that congressional district (though that doesn't stop Jason Lewis from running for MN-02 either)

Was when Alex Jones stormed his set at one of the conventions and he just sat there.

The Nation sadly too seems to be in deep Russian money too. Katherine Van Heuvenhoffen or whatever her name is.

people there who support Cenk shocked me.

Even AFTER I posted his taking all that money from Roemer.

I guess we simply do not deserve nice things after all.

That's how things tend to work in our system. Feel free to campaign against him. He's got tons of material to choose from, though you could start with Ana's interview with him on Thursday. She asks him about his past views, so have at it.
