ONE Reason Democrats Keep Getting Hollywood Support
The LA Times is reporting that Joe Biden's ties to the Hollywood establishment aren't all about the environment, same sex marriage, or wage equality. They're about dollars. Presidential candidate Joe Biden has a long-time relationship as trade ambassador for the movie industry, and a long-time connection as a mouthpiece for Jeffrey Katzenberg (known for DreamWorks Animation) and others when negotiating deals to get American movies seen in China. The lowdown is in the story found here:

Uncle Joe knows the value of a dollar in Hollywood.

ONE Improving Poll; And ONE Idiotic Cartoonist
The latest Rasmussen presidential approval poll is looking slightly better for Donald Trump. The latest poll shows a post State of the Union bump for Trump with 52% of "likely voters" approving of his job performance and 47% disapproving. The poll also claims 39% "strongly approve" and 39% "strongly disapprove." That gives him a flat 0% difference between those two categories after being in negative territory for a while.
Democrats will try to boost the negatives again soon by purposely forcing another shut-down and then emailing and phoning every liberal journalist twice a day to whine about it. Here's the report from the Rasmussen website.

Also in today's news, we learned that some cartoonists enjoy planting obscenity laced panels in their strips on the comics page. One newspaper has already decided to drop the comic "Non-Sequitur" from its lineup after discovering a "Go F Yourself to Donald Trump" in one panel of the strip. The panel (which did not stop spelling the word with the F) was intended as an "Easter Egg" by the cartoonist, who I hope has no children and is never in charge of Easter Egg Hunts.

ONE Candidate Gets Targeted with Democrats Dirty Tricks Campaign
Howard Schultz - welcome to the world of presidential politics!
Less than 24 hours after former CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, announced he was considering an independent run for president, an organized dirty-tricks-style campaign against him blossomed in NYC (in the home state of Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand and Democrat darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez).
Democrats began heckling Schultz almost immediately in an attempt to intimidate him and derail his candidacy before it even becomes official. The event was held at a Barnes and Noble book store. Schultz is releasing a book about reinventing America from the ground up to coincide with his coming campaign.

It's easy to see why candidates are becoming experts at packaged and produced rallies that make it hard for anybody but their most vocal supporters to attend.

ONE Candidate to Rule Them All
Schultz Plans Run for the White House
Howard Schultz, the former CEO of Starbucks, is creating early fireworks in the 2020 presidential race. The 65 year old Schultz lit everybody's fuse this weekend when he quietly told 60 Minutes TV program that he was considering a run for the presidency. The move - which most voters were oblivious to - was already rumored among political insiders and candidates of both parties began verbally pooping on Schultz immediately suggesting he's not smart enough (Trump Tweet) or suggesting that all Democrat leaning unions, interest groups, etc would use their email accounts to start a Starbucks boycott to hurt Schultz who still owns stock in the company (Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg and others). Some are even suggesting that states with Democrat majorities in the state legislatures and governor's offices use the ballot access laws to try to prevent Schultz from getting on the ballot in a few big states. (electoralvote.com)
Why Democrats fear Schultz: Democrats fear that Schultz will run as an independent, skip the party nomination wars, and get enough votes away from the Democratic candidate to help Trump win the electoral college votes in just enough states for victory. Third party candidates often pull more voters away from one party than the other, and Schultz is a moderate Democrat with traditional centrist values. Trump voters won't vote for him, but a sizable number of Democrats might.
Why Trump fears Schultz: Maybe he does fear Schultz a little bit. Schultz has big company chief executive experience with a popular brand. He could look like a sane and centrist choice somewhere between the left of the Democratic party favorites and the hard right of the current Republican administration. He might give Trump a run for his money. But maybe Trump really isn't worried about him. Trump knows his own supporters are mostly hard-core. And he knows they won't abandon him for any Democrat - moderate or not. So he can play with Schultz all he wants and know that Schultz hurts the Democrats far worse.
Either way, Schultz is creating exactly what he needs - reactions that get him in the news.

ONE Suburban Problem
GOP Struggles in Affluent Suburban Neighborhoods
The Republicans now have exactly two years to figure out hoe to cut down Democrat margins in suburban America. One lesson from last night's Democrat Blue Wavelet is that the GOP hasn't figured out that cities and suburbs are growing and winning elections won't get any easier if they continue to just ignore what makes college educated suburban women happy politically. Three losses in Virginia, two in Florida, and most likely one in Texas could all be reversed if Republicans could just stop motivating these voters for Democrats. And there's probably several more House districts that could have been salvaged if Republicans could just figure out how not to Get-Out-The-Dems- Votes.
How in the world did Donna Shalala, a white, Midwestern octogenarian defeat Maria Elvira Salazar by multiple percentage points? She and her party knew what would fly and what wouldn't in the Miami area district. And the Democrats were serious about winning there.
