I've gotta say, a candidate who rambles off topic and cannot seem to answer a question directly to save his life STRONGLY reminds me of this Blues Brothers scene "It wasn't my fault!" #Trumpyoutu.be/4U9Yl5CXvcQ

He may as well see who's going to give him a better deal! And otherwise, I don't mind him ruffling feathers and sabre rattling with anti-union folks. Will make it that much more difficult for J.D. Vance to respond to.

What do finance, insurance, and reinsurance companies think about legislative risk these days? Is my 401k at higher risk after this SCOTUS court season? We've gotta make a money argument to voters! #Finance#Insurance#Investing#Reinsurance#LegislativeRisk#401k#SCOTUS#Retirement#MoneyArgement

Bringing in the #nonvoter may be the best option. Recognize and celebrate them to get them off the bench! Make them feel like the donor to reach the fundraising goal before the clock runs out - like it or not, the analogy aligns pretty well! 🇺🇲🎉🗳️⏰🇺🇲

The takeaway - it appears worth acknowledging the mass *voting public* are falling into the Idiocracy trap. Education and practice of #AdvancedCitizenship was not marketed as well as bread & circuses by mega-corps, etc.

“Every thinking person in America will be voting for you.” Stevenson replied, “I’m afraid that won’t do—I need a majority.” (This exchange may not have actually happened. Still, this political anecdote has been cited in print since at least 1968.)

🧵 I don't think Biden should drop out. However, there's a small bit of this situation which is similar-ish (i.e. maybe 25% similar) to a supposed interaction after someone heard an impressive speech by a candidate Adlai Stevenson...
