I'm now a David Hogg fan

I saw David Hogg on Maher and I saw him debate James Carville on YouTube. He did great. Both videos are worth watching.

I especially enjoyed the debate with Carville. Carville had earlier called Hogg a "twerp." By the end of the debate, Hogg had Carville eating out of his hand. That's a pretty amazing feat in my book.

Tara Palmeri does a good job of pretty much staying out of this, for the most part.

... it was great they had so much time. 45 minutes to hash it out, face to face. You don't see that very often.

I thought D Hogg did very well. I don't think he's working against the Dems at all.

world with trump and GOPer hatred/idoicy, he offered absolutely nothing that will help us win in midterms. We've heard it before. IMO, we will be crushed if that's our message beginning this Fall.

We need a big win in House to ever have a chance of achieving that vision which isn't much different from most Democrats for that past 30 years or more.

I do believe Hogg -- or people who believe similar -- should be part of DNC policy making.

My wife still watches his "Real Time" show, but I told her I'm done with Bill Maher. Neverthelss, she put it on when we were watching TV. I was about to leave the room, then she told me Al Gore was the first guest. I stayed for that, but no more.

I'm glad to see that Hogg is still young enough to to optimistic enough to try and change things.

previous posts. For example FEC filing https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20279328]

Open secrets info on contributions https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20278830]

But for some people researching is much harder than repeating info in a tweet that gives no appropriate links to actual documents.

Paul A. Szypula @Bubblebathgirl

A few of his posts, readily available.

• @AOC also hypocritically flew private at a cost of thousands per hour while destroying the environment. The hypocrisy from the Democrat Party is literally sky-high.

• @SenWarren got caught flying private and tried to hide from the cameras. Remember that gem? These Democrat lawmakers are all complete frauds. Never take them seriously.

• Leftist cries and says it’s “not healthy” that moms who are violent criminals are being arrested for deportation. What’s not healthy for America is for violent criminal illegals to be in the US. Mass deportations are the cure.

• Leftists are mad criminal moms who are illegals are getting deported. According to the Left, women who illegally enter the US can commit crimes without consequence. Notice that CNN hides the faces of the illegal and people obstructing ICE. But CNN shows faces of law enforcement.

I assume you read a few more of @Bubblebathgirl posts, and nothing said to you hey, should I trust this person?

Wowzer.
