Theyre expressing confidence democrats will turn out in november despite a sizable protest vote.

Line up were ready to take some questions. Hi, my name is sean, and im from the university of san diego. So speaking about incentives for Congress People to take the long view, take the hard vote, what do you think in your opinion is the best solution to incentivizing individual Congress People to take the long view . Well, first of all, nobodys going to do something that deliberately and intentionally causes their loss. That wou defy the laws of nature. So im from kansas so if i went up and i said wheat programs are bad for this country, im going to vote against them my constituents would think i was nuts. Okay. Because im sent there to represent their views, their perspectives on as much as i can. But im also sent up this to use my own up there to use my own judgment with as well. And, you know, my judgment is that philosophically these jobs were not meant to be permanent jobs. There was meant to be turnover.

They cost us republicans three senate seats. We were poised to win nevada delaware and colorado where the incumbents delaware wasnt an incumbent, but mike cassell was running and hes tremendously popular, the tea party came in, the people did not participate in the primaries to the degree they should have, and the tea party nominated unelectable nominees in all three states and handed the democrats three seats they would not have otherwise had.

Civic leaders, Business Leader people from all walks of american life. We went through an 18 month process and went all over the country california, ohio, philadelphia. We had meetings and engaged the American Public. Then, they had some debate and a liberation. They had and the liberation. Deliberation. They did find common ground. That is our blueprint for strengthening our democracy. It contains 69 recommendations. Three major areas of reform forming congress, forming our elections system, and a call to public service. Not all of these are a magic pill. If we enact them all tomorrow the system is not going to turn around althoug

Welcome to the enterprise american institute. Im so used to hosting events on the afternoon. Good morning. Welcome to the American Enterprise entered institute.
