Martin Sheen concluding 6th & I West Wing event with a sort of Bartlet pastiche of Sorkin speeches—and then he closes the book and *becomes* Jed Bartlet, speaking from the heart. It’s pretty cool.

Funny thing about convention rules....
If you were confused, no worries!
Convention rules require roll call & nominations for every candidate that passes the delegate threshold.
I was asked to 2nd the nom for Sen. Sanders for roll call.
I extend my deepest congratulations to

after Angela Lansbury worked her way to be Executive Producer of Murder, She Wrote she used her power to create the role of Cabot Cove librarian in order to cast Madlyn Rhue, so she could qualify for health insurance to pay for her expensive treatment for Multiple Sclerosis.

Literally my favorite performance from a young actor in the HP films. Cedric-Harry should have always had a boarding school homoerotic crush element, would have made the ending even better. And Pattinson plays it exactly that way. 10/10 no notes, love him.

So many films/TV shows think “Dreamlike” is some organic montage of odd dialogue snippets and whatever—all the cliches. Meanwhile Kubrick does the subliminal thing, like the TV without an electric cord in the shining. That’s a director.

Another reason I like Kamala Harris is that she and her family are close to Hillary Clinton, and I feel like in her administration Hillary will have influence and be asked to do international missions and such, and I want that for her. AND for us.

It's not about "worshipful" it's accuracy. We may disagree as to where on the spectrum Nancy can be pegged, but it's inaccurate to say AOC brought out something different in her. She happened to regain her Speaker's powers at the same time AOC arrived. That's the correlation.

I think show is misunderstood as a liberal’s fantasy & Sorkin purposely crafts Bartlet as complicated—it’s American gov as a romantic Camelot story. It doesn’t mean remaking world as a liberal utopia, it means that even w minimal progress they never stop believing in the quest

There's a difference between genuine kindness & a smarmy performative kindness.
Anyway. I believe deeply in kindness. But it has limits, at a certain point, something crosses the line. It opposes your core values. & then you have to make a choice. I've drawn the line at Spicer.

Maybe, but I think it's a little different now. Now the pitch is "let's heal the soul of America" from the damage from Trump and grow beyond it. I think that message plays differently than in 2016, when Trump could seem more of a change agent than he will this time.

538 is a flawed outlier model. We are in two different universes—those who look at the wide swath of data and make reluctant conclusions about the actual state of things, and those clinging to flawed outlier data/models to support an irrational position locking in a path to loss.

Have Andy Cohen run the open convention. Have an open bar and run the cameras. A president will Emerge, like the Countess, to Lead Us.
On open convention would in some ways mimic the drama of a Reality TV show. And that would be a good thing for Democrats and their connection to the public:

Exactly. I understand the anger, but "there is no moral or ethical defense" is simply not true. Given how broken things are, how little impact can be made on Trump's behavior, the moral considerations are complicated. If this helps to ensure Trump loses, that is a legit defense.
