Were still sort of young into this, but, you know, so far, were not seeing a lot of improvement in Republican Party numbers as of late july. We havent seen that quite yet. And so were sort of watching to see, do those problems just sort of Carry Forward . Now, one thing i have to say is that usually the dynamics of one election dont really Carry Forward into the next. Usually its about something different. But we have had times when its repeated and, you know, you could almost look at 2006, which was a great democratic year, and 2008, which was a great democratic year. They flowed into one another. But thats really, really, really unusual. I think you probably have to go back, with 32, 34, 36, to find another time where the flow just sort of continued on from one election to the next, but obviously it could happen.

During this painful week we see glimmers of strong hope. Signs are that our strategy is totally working. Reporter working to flatten the curve of ne
Are this coming tuesday. What issue is driving you to vote . Why dont you let us know on twitter and facebook and get your comments in the show. And the first jobs i ever had paid minimum wage. I had no intention of living my life on the lowest legal amount of money that an employer can pay. If i worked hard and exceeded expectations and i didnt stay at minimum wage very long. And this proposal is on the ballot. They passed a higher minimum wage. And the world will come to an end if the minimum wage is raised and the democrats claim it will bring prosperity to entrylevel workers. There will be consequences to the 3. 3 million workers. That would mean a slight pay raise for 16 percent of the American Workers who currently get minimum wage. And raising the amount to 10. 10 an hour would cost half million jobs including a bunch of jobs that currently pay minimum wage. This has drifted in a partisan fight. Is it real empowerment of the poor or a job killer. Instead of arguing over the mini
