i think it s healthy. it begins to break the lock hold on congress in on american politics which really does not represent as i say the largest group of voters in america who are by their own self independent. neil: three we talk about the kyrsten sinema news is she is going to move to become independent senator from arizona. caucus with the democrats like the other two independents in the right state senate. similar to what lieberman was at the same office as a connecticut independent senator this can be a good sign it s art westwood the washington examiner with this. let s begin with you what you think of jolene person is saying for that matter republicans
Healthcare in this country and focus on getting the economy moving. maria: and by the way the economy is going to show movement this week. we get the gdp number out on thursday, and all expectations call for a second quota gdp number of 4%, largely as a result of some of the rollback in regulations and the tax cut plan. i want to talk about what the democrats though are going to do in response to that. joe liner man, former senator wrote an op-ed and lieberman writes this in the wall street journal this week, vote joe crowley for working families, it begins with this quote. alexandria cortez s surprise primary victory over representative joe crowley seems likely to hurt congress, america , and the democratic party, it doesn t have to. what lieberman writes is that he s hoping that crowley s name is on the ballot because the idea to abolish i.c.e. came from her. alexandria cortez and tom perez the head of the dnc says she s the future of the party.
