for progressive values for immigrants. rasheed is the daughter of palestinian immigrants. i m the son of a palestinian immigrant. i think you ll be a champion of immigration, fair immigration. you ll have a big heart for people who are flying to make a better life for themselves in this country. both elan and rashida did not run specifically as muslims or as women of color. they ran as progressive candidates to be the best out there. i think in our community, you know, he said we re more conservative, but we re not monolithic. i think the younger generation is much more progressive, even on marriage equality issues so i think the republicans made a mistake. they took the vote for granted? they could have had the wealthy muslims and and with donald trump saying that islam hates us. what i love is the democratic party looks like america.

mueller investigation. 64% think attorney general jeff sessions shouldn t be fired. and 67% say the case against paul manafort justified. now when you put that those numbers, juchl that pos juxtapo president calling this illegal, what does it say about the president s allegations and whether or not they re effective? this poll may not have really touched on what the relevant question is which is if you believe this will that impact any vote that you may take one way or the other? you know, general question like that doesn t really tell us what we need to do to do a fine political analysis. some of the congressional house races, of course, have much more to do with local issues and if a candidate, if a democrat is running against trump, you use trump to help turn out your base so your views on the mueller
