| BOOKER: Will try to bolster Dem support in Ind. |
Cough up some campaign cash to bolster the chances of Democrats taking control of the Senate and House of Representatives, or it won’t matter by how much Hillary Clinton beats up on Donald Trump come Nov. 8.
THEY’RE
ALL WRITTEN in the same depressing tone of how we people who don’t want the
conservative ideologue viewpoint rammed down our throats on every issue have
already lost because Republicans will likely continue their obstructionist ways
when it comes to governing.
Some
of these e-mails go so far as to try to “guilt trip” me, by letting me know
their records show I haven’t given a dime to any candidate or political cause.
Mostly because I have never made a political contribution in an effort to
maintain some sort of impartiality. The ones attributed to political operative James Carville are amongst the most over-the-top in their rhetoric.
Perhaps
it’s good that the allegedly-liberal interests don’t think of me as some sort
of lackey. Although I suspect the ideologues read what is written here, and
have already written me off as incorrigible.
But someone is going to have to come up with the kind of cash to help support
the kind of people who would be inclined to ally themselves with a second
Clinton presidency.
WHICH
IS WHY it was intriguing to read the Washington Post’s report how the Clinton
campaign itself is coming up with $1 million to support Senate and
gubernatorial candidates running in the neighboring states of Indiana and
Missouri.
Both
are states that often lean Republican, but in the case of Missouri has shown
some support for Democrats. Particularly if St. Louis and Kansas City can band
together to out-vote the rural parts of the state that lie in between.

| CLINTON: Pitching in her own campaign cash |
While in Indiana, Democrats there have expressed hope that the fact that Gov. Mike Pence gave up his post to try to bolster the Trump presidential dreams means that a non-incumbent Republican can actually be beaten by Democrat John Gregg.
While
the potential comeback of Evan Bayh could shift the U.S. Senate seat up for
grabs in the Hoosier state come next month.
CLINTON
HERSELF IS seeing a need to do something to try to build up allies in places
that might otherwise turn out to be hostile to her political desires. Which is
good. Because if they’re counting entirely on $3 contributions from people
solicited via the Internet, they’re going nowhere.
The
Indiana elections are of particular interest because it will be that part of
the Hoosier state that lies just across the state line from Chicago that will
decide if Democrats can actually have any influence there.
Because
I don’t doubt that in places like Fort Wayne or Terre Haute, there will be
voters convinced of the dreadfulness of Hillary Clinton and/or the superiority
of Donald Trump in the White House.
It
will be people in places like Hammond (just across the state line) and Gary (a
couple towns to the east) that will decide what happens.
WHICH
IS WHY local Democrats have a rally planned for Tuesday in downtown Gary where
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., will try to inspire local residents to turn out to
vote.

| PENCE: Will absence from Indiana help Dems? |
Booker, the former mayor of Newark, will try to inspire locals of the similarity of their depressed communities, and how a Clinton presidency could be the factor that makes a difference.
Because
there have been countless tales in recent months of just how badly Trump
flopped when he tried operating a riverboat casino in Gary. Stories that may
have a more negative effect in Indiana than any tale of Trump thinking he can grope
any babe who happens to catch his eye.
Although
it does come off as a bit depressing that we in Illinois, who will wind up
providing our Electoral College votes to Clinton in a landslide, will have to
rely so heavily on our neighbor states to influence the future direction of our
government. Pro-Hillary, or continued obstruction!
