Robert William Alexander Jr. commented on your post in North Georgia Democrats. Robert William Alexander Jr. 12:06pm Nov 26 An opposing viewpoint: http://crooksandliars.com/2014/11/its-damn-good-thing-chuck-schumer-isnt Comment History Frank Gilkeson 11:41am Nov 26 shumer is still head of the democratic policy and communications center. http://www.dpcc.senate.gov/?p=about W Lorraine Watkins 11:30am Nov 26 All of Shumer's Wall Street and energy Blue Dogs got defeated this past election. He better consider a "course change." Roger Darr 11:24am Nov 26 This represents a major course correction for the party so I think it's worth watching the whole speech if you can. There's a lot of persuasive information and historical perspective that get's lost in the summary. Frank Gilkeson 10:44am Nov 26 here is a good summary of the speech. alot of good points i thought. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/11/chuck-schumers-cure-for-democrats/383175/ Roger Darr 10:36am Nov 26 Thanks for posting this Frank. I'm only half way through listening to it but I'm really excited to see someone in the party establishment actually gets it. View All Comments Original Post Frank Gilkeson 7:44pm Nov 25 Charles Schumer on how the Democrats can Win in 2016. National Press Club speech this morning. I listened to it live and found it quite stimulating. Highlights for me. Key issue is middle class is losing out in current economy. GDP and stock market up and Middle Class Income down. Technology and globalization are causing more economic benefits to go to capital than to labor. The way to win is to focus on lifting up the middle class with government programs and law changes. It was a mistake in 2008 to push for heathcare reform before completely fixing the economy. It is a long speech but worthwhile. http://www.c-span.org/video/?322914-1%2Fsenator-charles-schumer-dny-november-midterm-elections View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
