Adding Steve Paikowsky.  This has moved from being about a nice little grandma in Nevada who was just serving her party and doing the right thing to a war between DWS and
Sanders. That is not good for the party or Debbie.  If we have something new to discuss like the platform yes. If we don't or we need to cool off then why are we putting her out there?   This is like the tulsi DWS debate issue. This is not a good look.

Certainly we will have to address what’s happened this week. But the interview provides a large stage to pivot to a unity message and push back on Trump.  And, as Luis and Mark noted when we spoke, this is one of the more thoughtful programs and interviewers.

Sending again with Paikowsky.

It's been about two years since I've been asked to be on FTN. What are the topics? Is the primary purpose to have me on to continue the back and forth over the NV convention? Or to get me to respond to Weaver's allegations? I'm happy to go on but only if it is a general discussion on the election, not primarily this controversy. Please let me know. Thanks. I would need to do this remotely from home.

Luis thinks it’s a good idea but wants to make sure Tracie is comfortable.

Is Luis recommending I do this?

They want you at 1030am which works for your flight schedule but may make you late to the Weston Dem Club.  No a big deal but a flag.
