CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS WEEK'S 3
DEMOCRATIC DEBATE. 3
A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FROM 3
2018, FINISHING SHORT. HE IS 3
LEADING AN EFFORT TO GROW THE 3
DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR THE 2020 3
ELECTION. 3
GOOD MORNING MR. MAYOR. 3
THANK YOU, FOR COMING IN. 3
LET ME GET YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF 3
THE TWO NIGHTS OF DEBATES WE 3
JUST HAD. 3
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE? 3
A MARATHON. 3
TO SEE 10 CANDIDATES ON THE 3
STAGE EACH NIGHT. THE FIRST 3
TAKE AWAY IS WE GOT A COUPLE OF 3
PEOPLE IN THERE THAT I COULD 3
ACTUALLY SEE AS PRESIDENT OF 3
UNITED STATES. 3
THAT'S IMPORTANT. 3
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO 3
EVALUATE THEM IN A SINGLE LAYER.3
THERE IS SOME SHIFTING THAT MAY 3
TAKE PLACE AS A RESULT OF THESE 3
DEBATES. 3
ON THE FIRST NIGHT THE 3
SECRETARY CASTRO WHO HAD 3
LARGELY LANGUAGE THE VERY BACK 3
WITH NOT A LOT OF ATTENTION. 3
HE REALLY SHOWED HIS CHOPS. HIM 3
GOING AFTER BETO THE WAY HE DID.3
LANDING THOSE PUNCHES AND 3
GETTING AS MUCH TIME AS HE DID 3
HE CHANGE SOME OPINIONS. 3
I UNDERSTAND HIS GOOGLE SEARCH 3
WENT UP 27% AS A RESULT OF THE 3
DEBATE. 3
I THOUGHT THE LAST TO BE 3
SENATOR KAMALA HARRIS WAS 3
INCREDIBLE. 3
SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB. 3
SHE WAS CRISP AND REAL. 3
SHE IS PERSONAL STORIES AND 3
NARRATIVE TO DRAW A COMPELLING 3
PICTURE AND COMPARE THAT TO HOW 3
THE VICE PRESIDENT PERFORMED. 3
I THINK THERE WAS A IN THE 3
ARMOR. 3
IF THERE WAS EVER GOING TO BE A 3
TIME FOR ANOTHER DEMOCRAT TO 3
CREEP UP THE MIDDLE AND BREAK 3
THIS MOMENTUM TOWARDS BIDEN 3
BEING THE NOMINEE SHE DID THAT 3
IN THE DEBATE. 3
FINALLY I WOULD SAY PETE, HAD A 3
TOUGH COUPLE WEEKS COMING OFF 3
OF WHAT OCCURRED IN HIS HOME 3
TOWN OF SOUTH BEND INDIANA 3
STOOD UP AND TOOK 3
RESPONSIBILITY. 3
HE LEVELED WITH THE VIEWERS AND 3
DEMOCRATS WITH THE AMERICAN 3
PEOPLE. 3
HE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS 3
PART AND THEN HE BLEW THE 3
CONVERSATION OUT TO SAY THIS IS 3
NOT TO SAY SOUTH BEND PROBLEM. 3
THIS IS AN ISSUE OF INDIGNITY 3
THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR FACE TOO 3
OFTEN AT THE HANDS OF LAW 3
ENFORCEMENT. 3
TRULY IS BEST MOMENT WAS 3
OFTEN DEMOCRATS ARE AFRAID TO 3
INJECT RELIGION. 3
WHEN HE STARTED TALKING ABOUT 3
HYPOCRISY THAT IDENTIFIES WITH 3
CHRISTIANITY AND PUTS CHILDREN 3
IN CAGES. 3
THAT SORT OF THING DEMOCRATS 3
ARE SCARED TO GO INTO THAT 3
TERRITORY. 3
I EXPERIENCES ON THE TRAIL 3
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR WHERE I 3
WOULD BE IN PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL 3
WHITE SPACES AND WOULD OFTEN 3
VOTE MY GRANDMOTHER ANOINTING 3
MY HEAD WAS OIL AND PRAYING 3
OVER ME BEFORE LEAVING THE 3
DOOR. 3
FOLKS WOULD SAY I'M 3
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS. THAT'S 3
MY EXPERIENCE. 3
WHAT YOU SAW WITH PETE WAS HE 3
REFLECTED A COMFORT AROUND HIS 3
FAITH AND WAS NOT PLAYED TO 3
PROJECTED. 3
I WANT TO GO BACK TO KAMALA 3
HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN. 3
JOE IS BEEN A FRONT RUNNER AND 3
IN PART BECAUSE HE HAS A DEEP 3
WELL OF SUPPORT WITHIN THE 3
AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY. 3
IS A PRICE AND PEOPLE THAT 3
KAMALA HARRIS DOESN'T HAVE THAT 3
SAME LEVEL OF SUPPORT. 3
DOES THIS CHANGE? 3
I WANT TO SAY BLACK VOTERS 3
AND THE DEMOCRATS IN THIS 3
COUNTRY WANT TO WIN. THEY DON'T 3
WANT TO TAKE RISKS. 3
MANY OF US ARE TERRIFIED THAT 3
IF YOU TRY TO BREAK HISTORY OR 3
MAKE HISTORY MAYBE WE END UP 3
RISKING LOSING THE ELECTION. 3
THERE HAS BEEN SUPPORT. 3
MOST OF IT HAS BEEN AROUND THIS 3
BELIEF THAT JOE BIDEN IS THE 3
BEST PERSON TO BE DONALD TRUMP 3
AND PUT DEMOCRATS BACK IN 3
CONTROL. 3
LAST NIGHT WITH SENATOR HARRIS 3
PUTTING A IN THE ARMOR OF 3
BIDEN IS ONE SHE STOOD THE 3
COMMANDER IN CHIEF TEST. 3
SHE GAVE US A PREVIEW OF HOW 3
SHE MIGHT COMBAT DONALD TRUMP. 3
YOU WANT TO SEE HER ON 3
STAGE. 3
IT'S GOOD TELEVISION. 3
SHE WILL BRING SUBSTANCE AND 3
HIT BACK. 3
SHE WILL TAKE THE CONVERSATION 3
BACK. 3
HER COMMENT AROUND THE AMERICAN 3
PEOPLE DIDN'T COME HERE TO SEE 3
A FOOD FIGHT THEY WANT TO SEE 3
WHO'S GONNA PUT FOOD ON THE 3
TABLE IS A BRILLIANT WINE. 3
THE ISSUE OF BUSING. 3
WERE YOU SURPRISED? WHAT WAS 3
YOUR REACTION. THE VICE 3
PRESIDENT MADE A RIGHTS ARGUMENT3
IN SUPPORT OF BUSING. 3
THAT -- I'M NOT SURE WHAT 3
WAS HAPPENING THERE. 3
IF THERE WAS A HIT ATTACK THE 3
VICE PRESIDENT COULD'VE 3
ANTICIPATED IT WOULD BEEN ON 3
THIS ISSUE. 3
DOMINATED THE PRIZE FOR THE 3
LAST WEEK OR SO. 3
I WAS DISAPPOINTED AND 3
SURPRISED SHE DIDN'T HAVE A 3
BETTER RESPONSE TO THAT. 3
THE OTHER PIECES HE KNOWS OVER 3
THE LEADERSHIP OF HIS BODY OF 3
WORK IN CIVIL RIGHTS MOST OF 3
THE RIGHTS WE HAVE SEEN ACHIEVE 3
WHETHER LGBT OR WOMEN'S RIGHTS 3
OR EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE OF 3
COLOR IN THIS COUNTRY FRANKLY 3
HAVE BEEN TO US BY FEDERAL 3
COURTS OR THROUGH INTERVENTION 3
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. 3
USED FOR EXAMPLES IN THIS 3
SECTION 5 VOTING ACT 3
PRECLEARANCE. 3
EACH STATE HAVE YOUR WAY DO IT 3
YOUR WAY, SO MUCH OF THE SOUTH 3
WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. 3
I WAS SURPRISED AT THE LACK OF 3
DEPTH THE VICE PRESIDENT AND HIS3
RESPONSE. 3
I WAS IMPRESSED THAT KAMALA 3
HARRIS IF ANYBODY HAD AN 3
IMPRESSION SHE WAS RUNNING FOR 3
VICE PRESIDENT I THINK SHE 3
DISAVOWED THEM LAST NIGHT. 3
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT 3
YOU ARE DOING SINCE YOU LOST 3
THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR. 3
ONE -- A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL 3
SHRINK BACK AND LICK THEIR 3
WOUNDS FOR A WHILE. 3
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE EFFORT YOU 3
ARE MAKING BETWEEN NOW AND 3
2020. 3
I LICKED MY WOUNDS FOR A 3
LITTLE WHILE TO BE HONEST ABOUT 3
IT. 3
SOME DAYS I STILL DO. 3
WE CAME SO CLOSE IN ESTATE THAT 3
IS AND HAS BEEN DIFFICULT FOR 3
DEMOCRATS. WE CAME CLOSE IN ANY 3
DEMOCRAT TO WINNING THE RACE 3
FOR GOVERNOR IN 24 YEARS. 3
I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE THE GAINS 3
WE CREATED THEIR WE HAVE 33,000 3
VOTES OF FLIPPING THE STATE 3
THAT THE THIRD LARGEST IN THE 3
COUNTRY THERE ARE SOME LESSONS 3
YOU LEARN. 3
ONE LESSON WE LEARNED AND 3
FRANKLY HAVE TO CREDIT AXELROD 3
WITH THIS. 3
HE RAN A OF A RACE. 3
ONE OF THE MOST THINGS I SAW 3
GOING INTO THE RACE WAS 3
DISPARITY IN THE STATE OF 3
FLORIDA. 3
WHAT WE DID FOR OBAMA IN 2007 3
AND 2008 AND GOING INTO, 12. 3
WE WENT AND AND REGISTERED 3
DEMOCRATS. 3

NUMBERS GOING INTO THE 3

700,000 MORE DEMOCRATS WERE 3
REGISTERED IN THE STATE IN 3
2008. 3
MY ELECTION CAME DOWN TO 3
250,000 VOTER REGISTRATION 3
ADVANTAGE. 3

RE-ENGAGING 1 MILLION NEW 3
DEMOCRAT PROGRESSIVE VOTERS IN 3
ADVANCE OF 2020. 3
YOU CAN DO IT IN THE FINAL 3
MONTHS. 3
IT'S A MISTAKE. 3
IN MY PRIMARY I SPENT 18 MONTHS 3
TALKING ABOUT DEMOCRATS WHO 3
WERE REGISTERED. 3
WE HAD A TRUNCATED TIME WHERE 3
YOU HAVE TO BLOW OUT AND TALK 3
TO THE ENTIRETY OF THE STATE. 3
IF YOU WAIT TO THE LAST MINUTE 3
YOU ALREADY LOST. 3
REPUBLICANS HAVE PERFECTED 3
BUILDING AN APPARATUS DESIGNED 3
TO WIN REGARDLESS OF WHO THE 3
