While the President was supportive of the plight of the farmers converging on Capitol Hill, much of Congress did not feel the same way, even the farmers among them. Freshman Democrat from Texas and farmer, Charles W. Stenholm was worried about the effectiveness of a tractorcade. “The farmers’ story is still valid. Their income levels are still not adequate, but I question the advisability of a tractorcade. I don’t feel a tractorcade will be helpful this year.”
times and between 21, they ll have inflection to where they want it to be. we hear inflation, and we get nervous and we recoil. we re always happy when our paychecks inflate, our homes inflate. the value of our baseball cards inflate. we need some kind of inflation. deflation is what we had during the great depression and it it could become a death spiral. jay powel saying, yesterday, he was in paris saying other countries monetary policy influence the economies of other nations. so if america isa 2.5% in our rates, japan is at zero. and are sweden and at a less negative number. we re in a globe global exempt we ve been reminded of that over and over again . he said that, huh. yeah, if you listen to jay powel, decent want the typical federal reserve to save the economy from recession.
who is doing much better than people expected he would. i think that s absolutely right. andrew gilliam who came out of nowhere to won the nomination i believe will help boost african-american turnout which usually lags in mid-term elections, and so if more of them are coming out that could boost bill nelson, but we have seen in the polls that bill nelson went from being a point or two behind to ahead, and at the end of the day it doesn t matter how many points you win by as long as you win. what has scott done so well? handling hurricanes, and when he won his second term for governor he had a popular negative number for rating and now he has a positive one. you have two incumbents going after each other. yeah.
party is today, is that the model is failing. clearly the democratic party has to change. and in my view what it has got to be, is a grassroots party, a party that makes decisions from the bottom on up. a party that is more dependent on small donations than on large donations. a party that speaks to the pain of the working class in the country. bernie, it is still run by cronies. all of this is a new poll, and finding a majority of disconnect. 67% say that the democratic party was out of touch with common american concerns. that s a higher negative number than for republicans and for president trump, the biggest drop includes the party itself, two years ago, more than 80% said that the party was in touch, now just a bit more over half. how do you account for the big slide in the poll numbers? that s not just a few points.
they have to go. chuck, we have a country or we don t have a country. joining me now is alan gomez who covers immigration for usa today. alan, thanks so much for joinings us. if you look at the polling we have, donald trump 75% negative number with latinos. he seems to be leading the gop field right now. i mean, how much damage does this have overall for the party? well, that s the interesting th thing about donald trump s immigration plan, the vast majority is pretty much a republican playbook on immigration right now. he talks quite a bit about adding more border security, adding more immigration enforcement agents, more worksite raids. these are things you will find in jeb bush s plan, ted cruz, just about every gop hopeful. where he really goes extreme is how he would treat undocumented youth. kids brought here by their parents or people that are born
