Mitch Perry Report for 11.17.16 — Will there be a Democrat ready to challenge Nancy Pelosi?

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

If it were up to Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic House Caucus would be voting for their leadership later today, where she would win another term as House minority leader, since there is no opposition to her leadership role. Not yet, anyway. In an ominous note for the 76-year-old representative from San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, dozens of rank-and-file lawmakers at a closed-door meeting earlier this week called on her to delay leadership elections for a couple of weeks. Although their chances to retake the House…

Mac Stipanovich: Bloodied, but unbowed after Donald Trump’s election

in 2017 by

I was a charter member of #NeverTrump, and, as such, I was a true believer in the justice of the cause and the probability of its success. So no one was more surprised by Donald Trump‘s victory than I. Or more bewildered by it. Or more angry about it. No one. I have been told ad nauseum that my blindness was the result of being out of touch with the WWC (the white working class, which is just the latest…

Mike Evans is feeling the heat today — and so is his employer, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans decision to sit during the playing of the national anthem before Sunday’s game at Raymond James Stadium versus the Chicago Bears to protest the election of Donald Trump as president is predictably receiving negative reviews in Tampa — the home of MacDill Air Force Base — and the country. Among those critics is Clearwater Republican Sen. Jack Latvala, who says he’s “tired of it.” Since this…

Donald Trump may revisit Trump Country during a victory tour

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Donald Trump may take a victory tour to states that elected him president, an aide said Saturday, as boisterous protests unfolded outside the tower where he holed up with members of his transition team and fielded calls congratulating him. While he’s announced one decision — putting Vice President-elect Mike Pence in charge of the transition instead of Chris Christie — Trump must identify other people for top White House jobs and Cabinet posts. The president-elect remained out of sight at Trump Tower, with streets outside…

Rick Scott-led pro-Donald Trump super PAC struggles, scales back

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Rebuilding America Now, the Rick Scott-run super PAC intended to be the main advertising support for Donald Trump’s presidential bid, is struggling after the departure of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. CNN is reporting that individuals associated with Rebuilding America are beginning to worry as donors ignore repeated pleas for last-minute cash. At first, the super PAC was imagined as a force to compete with Democrat Hillary Clinton’s $100-million-plus operation. Now, Scott and others are scaling back operations, instead focusing…

In Tampa, Donald Trump again tells black and Latino voters to give him a shot – “I’m going to make it so good”

in 2017 by

Donald Trump returned to Tampa Wednesday afternoon, the fourth time he’s appeared in the Cigar City this year, and another visit inside Florida’s Interstate 4 corridor, still considered the most crucial area for a presidential candidate to win to take Florida’s 29 electoral votes in November. Appearing over an hour late before several thousands of people at the Florida State Fairgrounds, the GOP presidential nominee’s speech peaked at about the 40 minutes, but then kept on going for another 20 minutes, as he expounded…
