Interesting profile: Will Abdul El-Sayed be America's first Muslim governor?
Why is that remarkable when we already had a Muslim president?

Roy Moore is an absolute embarrassment.
Holy shit, this guy is going to be a Senator!? This whole interview is bonkers, but omg:
Roy Moore
There are communities under Sharia law right now in our country. Up in Illinois. Christian communities; I don’t know if they may be Muslim communities.
But Sharia law is a little different from American law. It is founded on religious concepts.
Jeff Stein
Which American communities are under Sharia law? When did they fall under Sharia law?
Roy Moore
Well, there’s Sharia law, as I understand it, in Illinois, Indiana — up there. I don't know.
Jeff Stein
That seems like an amazing claim for a Senate candidate to make.
Roy Moore
Well, let me just put it this way — if they are, they are; if they’re not, they’re not.
That doesn’t matter. Oklahoma tried passing a law restricting Sharia law, and it failed. Do you know about that?

More Roy Moore, who apparently doesn't know what DACA even is.

Do the Dems really need Hillary Clinton to embark on her nationwide book tour right about now? This can't help bridge the divide in the party, and it won't help aspiring house and senate candidates. Chuck Schumer must be shaking his head at this. Nancy Pelosi's head might also be shaking, but probably more due to age. Moving on and forward is way preferable than wallowing in blame games rehashing the past. But then again, the Clintons' egos know no bounds. Ugh.

She needs that book tour now if she plans to run again in 2020. Rehabilitate Hillary tour.
1) More millions for the Clintons. Has any couple ever made more money from books & speeches?
Also, though, fuck the Bernie bros who didn't vote for her, and fuck the Bros who voted for Trump with a cactus.
It's not good timing. And even if you are likely to agree with her on the reasons why she was not elected (and I am sure I would agree with most of them) who wants to rehash, particularly this soon?

Hilary was a horrible candidate. Always afraid to fail. Like a basketball team that didn't know how to play with a lead.
In the primary when the Democratic Party took every possible step to ensure a blowout win (it was like WF/Presbyterian), she eeked out a win against a socialist that didn't even join the Democratic Party until he announced he was running for the nomination. She is hard to like.
She was destined to find a way to lose. No one else deserves the blame.
Of course, this is a lesson that should have been learned in 2008. Instead, the DNC took it as a sign of Obama's popularity instead of Hillary's unpopularity and a desire for someone new.
My female Facebook friends who were excited about Hillary in the primary were mostly older white women. Plenty of my women friends my age and younger were either ambivalent or reluctant or all-in for Bernie. We needed more options. I think even Hillary would have been better off winning a bigger primary as a show of stretch. Narrowly beating Bernie was a show of weakness.
