Hillary Clinton Fights Complacency

Robby Mook

The following comes from an e-mail from Robby Mook, manager of the Hillary Clinton campaign, which I just read.

Clearly, this is no time to be complacent.  After the excerpt here, Mr. Mook goes on to urge citizens to donate as donations have begun to taper off.

History shows Hillary Clinton is right to be worried.  America cannot let up the pressure on Trump.

All that money Trump and the Republicans raised for months and didn’t seem to be spending? They're spending it now....   And $140 million in advertising targeted at just a few battleground states plus a new Get Out the Vote operation means I'm going to start losing sleep at night.

Let me explain exactly why I'm worried: Maybe because public polling shows us in a good place, our fundraising has started to taper off. Folks seem to think this race is wrapped up.

We absolutely can’t operate under that assumption.... Especially not as nine figures of negative ads about Hillary are about to be dumped on TV in must-win states.

Ronald Reagan Campaigns for Harry Truman and the Democrats -- Audio

Through the marvelous agency of the Internet, we are able to access audio of Ronald Reagan, then a "liberal" Democrat speaking on the radio on behalf of Harry Truman and the Democratic ticket in 1948.

For those of us who remember Reagan railing against every Democrat he could, this is truly startling to listen to.  Just what happened to Reagan between 1948 and the early 1960's, say?

Surely, Reagan was sincere in this audio.  I particularly like the criticism of the Taft-Hartley law, legislation which is still on the books in its essential form.

Listen to this audio and be inspired -- if you can -- or simply informed.
