      You’re kidding right? You think a speech changes McConnell’s mind?

      idk but it’s a first step toward having a real fight about it, alerting the public to the stakes, creating pressure on Grassley to break w McConnell, and prompting reporters to keep asking every candidate across the nation what ought to be done.

      Anyway I don’t mean to have a flame war with you all. I thought this was generally what the record showed, e.g. on the Russia response https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/comey-book-claims-president-trump-sought-loyalty-mafia/story?id=54420635 …pic.twitter.com/DTLuXwsGkm

      I am very open to the idea that Russia pushback could’ve been done differently. But Mitch fucked him on Garland.

      No doubt. In retrospect, don’t you wish Obama fucked back?

      I just asked this EXACT question of @danpfeiffer at City Arts & Lectures & got the same answer (although TBF Pfeiffer wasn’t in the WH then). But there must have something more that could’ve been done to raise pressure on McConnell.

      We had extremely intense pressure on Rs that were actually up, which was only way to pressure McConnell. But ironically/ disgustingly, it was just too far away from the election, and they knew it. They also hedged that if Trump collapsed, SCOTUS might save base turnout. Leverage?

      I wasn’t there. You were. But to an astute political observer & activist, I saw no pushback. None.

      Just don’t know how to argue with that. Literally countless speeches, interviews, local pitches, local interviews, Garland meetings w/ Sens, leaks of refusals to meet, no-fingerprints stories, political pitches, validator opeds, TV TPs, social media. That’s just the public stuff.

      And it didn’t penetrate to progressive political circles where I am in California. I’m a former lawyer. I vote based on SCOTUS nominees but I didn’t hear anyone around me talking about it.

      FWIW, even while in the process of moving between continents, and then in the SF tech bubble, I heard a fair bit of grumbling about it. Mixed with feelings of helplessness.
