Nobody has the Republicans’ number quite like Hillary Clinton who was right about Trump early on and was ignored. Now look where we are.  We ignore her at our peril.  Looking ahead to November she said, “Expect them to shrink  the electorate, make it difficult to vote, confuse the electorate with flat-out disinformation and they will launch big surprises at the end.”

On SCOTUS:  “What the majority is doing is what they were put on the court to do. They are implementing a right wing agenda… we got the judges that had been groomed to put into the pipeline to do what they are now doing.”

“I went to law school with Clarence Thomas. It wasn’t like I was surprised.”

On Trump/Ukraine: “Russia is playing an old game and we’re not understanding the full implication of it but the Europeans are standing firm in large measure because they do see what a direct threat it is to them and I believe it is a direct threat to us. That’s not how Trump is talking… he’s easily bullied and easily flattered and he’s also only concerned about himself not the country so if you’re a smart enough dictator in Moscow or Beijing, bullying and flattering – those are pretty easy strategies to carry out.”

To Marc Elias: “You’ve been on the frontline of saving our democracy..we need you now as much as ever, so please keep going because we’ve gotta get through this next election because we’ll either continue our democracy or we’ll lose it.”

Let’s hope we continue it.

This is an informative, candid, and sometimes scary conversation between Clinton and Marc Elias of Democracy Docket.

Enjoy and happy Friday!
