Good morning from Washington. The Trump administration’s new health
care rule will help employees of small businesses and help undo some of
the damage Obamacare inflicted on the insurance market, writes Bob
Moffit. Who knew a mayoral election could get so
heated? Fred Lucas, who traveled down to Texas to report the story,
shares the strange case of a southern town where the arrests are piling
up. Plus: Joshua Nelson on the absence of too many dads in black
families, and Kelsey Bolar on why women may be drawn
to socialism.

Monday, June 17, 2019 Trump on Foreign Intelligence On Sunday, ABC News aired a previously recorded interview with President Donald Trump which included the following exchange: STEPHANOPOULOS: Your campaign this time around, if foreigners, if Russia, if China, if someone else offers you information on opponents, should they accept it or should they call the FBI? TRUMP: I think maybe you do both. I think you might want to listen, I don’t, there’s nothing wrong with listening. If somebody called from a country, Norway, “We have information on your opponent.” Oh, I think I’d want to hear it. STEPHANOPOULOS: You want that kind of interference in our elections? TRUMP: It’s not an interference, they have information. I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI. If I thought there was something wrong. But when somebody comes up with oppo research, right, that they come up with oppo research. Oh, let’s call the FBI. The FBI doesn’t have enough agents to take care of it, but you go and talk honestly to congressmen, they all do it, they always have. And that’s the way it is. It’s called oppo research. ABC News Last Friday, Trump clarified his remarks, stating “Of course, you have to look at it… But of course, you give it to the FBI or report it to the attorney general or somebody like that. You couldn’t have that happen with our country, and everybody understands that.” AP News From the Left The left argues that accepting information from a foreign government would be criminal and harmful to American democracy. “Mueller opted not to charge Trump Jr. for accepting a meeting in which he expected to receive opposition research on Clinton and the Democrats from a Russian lawyer in 2016. But it was not because there was nothing potentially wrong with this; it was because Mueller decided it was unlikely that it could be proven Trump Jr. knew that it was illegal and/or that the information was something ‘of value’… [but] even if Trump Jr. was ignorant of the law, that defense doesn’t really fly with his father today — not after a two-year investigation probing exactly that issue.” Aaron Blake, Washington Post “When [White House senior advisor Jared] Kushner was asked whether he would call the FBI if he received an email offering the Trump campaign help from the Russian government, he refused to answer, saying it was a hypothetical question. Besides, he added, he never received the information he was promised the last time that offer was made. This is like asking someone who stole silverware from your house whether he would steal from you again and him responding it was a hypothetical question and, besides, the silverware he stole the first time turned out to be worthless. It’s unlikely you would invite him over again. However, Donald Trump is running for re-election in 2020.” Larry Noble, CNN Regarding Christopher Steele, a foreign national hired by the Clinton campaign in 2016, “‘You can pay a foreign national to provide you with services, so a campaign, for instance, could have a campaign attorney who is a Canadian citizen’… If this kind of seems like a loophole, experts pointed out that it would be really hard to run a campaign otherwise. It would mean having to worry if the campaign signs you printed came from a foreign company, or if the catering firm you hired had foreign workers. If a campaign is paying someone for work or services, they’re being compensated. But where that doesn’t happen, and a campaign is accepting a contribution — or ‘thing of value’ — from a foreign government, the question then is what’s in it for them?” Jen Kirby, Vox “Foreign dirt wouldn’t come from Norway or other stable democratic allies like Ireland, France, and England. It would come from corrupt authoritarian regimes that want to manipulate American democracy for their own ends. In 2016, the Russian government favored Trump because he appeared open to relieving U.S. sanctions on the country. What if Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies try to repay Trump’s support as president by meddling in 2020?… What if Chinese leaders try to push the election in his opponents’ favor, in hopes of ending the trade war?… Thanks to Trump’s actions, Americans risk inheriting a democracy where elections are playgrounds for foreign powers rather than an expression of citizens’ wishes.” Matt Ford, New Republic “Here is what a presidential president might have said: If there is one thing the past three years have shown, the only good answer to a foreign country offering dirt on your political opponent is to decline and immediately report the offer to the FBI. Our country is still enduring the fallout from Russian interference in 2016. It has cast a pall on my presidency and led to the indictment of former senior government and campaign officials. The last thing any president should do is encourage foreign meddling in our next presidential election… “It is important for me to be clear on this, because it is not only a question of me or my campaign potentially breaking the law. It is also a matter of principle. Our political differences matter less than our commitment to one another as citizens loyal to the same constitutional order and committed to defending it in a world in which other states, friendly or unfriendly, pursue their own national interests. As president, I will defend this principle from the same erosion of other norms we have seen as our politics have gotten sharper.” Editorial Board, Washington Post From the Right The right argues that the FBI should be notified, but accuses Democrats of double standards regarding foreign contributions to elections. “The good thing you can say for President Trump in this interaction is… that President Trump is the most honest president that we’ve ever had. He is. Call him honest Donald. You have Honest Abe and now you can have honest Donald. Why is he the most honest president? Because President Trump brags about doing all the bad things and thinking all the bad things that all the other presidents have also done but they’ve hidden. He’s open about it. He’s honest about it… “However, what this also means is then we need to articulate that it’s bad. You don’t want to incentivize foreign governments to spy on American citizens… You don’t want it to seem like the President of the United States is encouraging you to do that or offering you something in return. That’s not a good idea. It’s refreshing to hear a guy speak honestly but then it’s incumbent on all the rest of us to say right that’s true and that is honest, but we shouldn’t do that.” Michael Knowles, Daily Wire Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tweeted, “I believe that it should be practice for all public officials who are contacted by a foreign government with an offer of assistance to their campaign – either directly or indirectly – to inform the FBI and reject the offer… the outrage some of my Democratic colleagues are raising about President Trump’s comments will hopefully be met with equal outrage that their own party hired a foreign national to do opposition research on President Trump’s campaign and that information, unverified, was apparently used by the FBI to obtain a warrant against an American citizen.” Lindsey Graham, Twitter “You see, it’s perfectly fine to pay a foreign spy to use Russian government sources (including FSB agents) to put together opposition research on Trump. It’s also completely acceptable for the DNC to seek out help from Ukraine to come up with dirt on Paul Manafort in order to hurt Trump. But Trump answers a hypothetical honestly instead of choosing to lie like every other politician and it’s time to clutch the pearls… “There’s no moral, nor legal imperative that if a German (for example) offers documented wrongdoing by your opponent, you must immediately turn it over to the FBI and not use it. We live in a global society. Negative information about political candidates comes from all corners and travels far and wide via the internet. This is especially true given how internationally connected and active many Presidential candidates are. If someone does something untoward in a foreign country, it’s logical that a foreign source would be the one to find out.” Bonchie, RedState “If Russia is calling to give the president information about a political opponent, odds are it is making mischief. But what if the call relaying such information comes from, say, Canada? While it is possible that this could be nefarious, it is more likely that, like a good neighbor, Canada would be trying to warn the president about some peril to American interests… “In the 2016 election, Estonia did call President Obama’s administration to provide opposition research — specifically, to convey unverified intelligence that Russia might be channeling money into the Trump campaign. The Brits provided information too. So did the Aussies. So, according to former CIA director John Brennan, did a number of European governments. To be sure, these countries are our allies. But that hardly means they were concerned only for our well-being. Like Brennan, they had their own anti-Trump agendas. The foreign-affairs component of Trump’s populist platform seemed to be: better relations with Putin, NATO bashing, skepticism about American interventions and military commitments, and halting the U.S. taxpayer-funded gravy train for European security. Europeans did not like this, not one little bit.” Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review A libertarian’s take “The relevant question is not the nationality of a source offering ‘oppo research’ but the accuracy and relevance of the information. Another consideration is whether the information was obtained illegally—by hacking emails, for example. While the Supreme Court has said people have a First Amendment right to share illegally obtained information if they were not involved in the lawbreaking (something that news organizations frequently do), you might reasonably argue that they should also report such crimes when they become aware of them, which may be what Trump had in mind when he said he might contact the FBI ‘if I thought there was something wrong.’” Jacob Sullum, Reason On the bright side… Pakistani politician livestreams press conference with ‘cat filter’ on by mistake.

William Jacobson: “Oberlin College warfare on Gibson’s Bakery shows “this can happen to anybody, it’s not just a campus phenomenon” — My
appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight discussing the massive jury
verdict: ‘These are the people who get up at 3 or 4 in the morning [to
go to work] when Oberlin students are just getting home'”
Kemberlee Kaye: “This seems relevant.”
Leslie Eastman: “We

away from the crazy that is California for 7 glorious days. I am
looking forward to a week away from #FakeNews and Trump Derangement
Drama…though I will remain on call, because you never know when big
news will break.”
David Gerstman: “The big news at LI is the verdict in
the Gibson vs. Oberlin case, which assessed the college $33 million in
damages against the family-owned business. But how is the media
covering this? On Twitter, New York Post op-ed editor, Sohrab Ahmari observed that
The Hill’s correspondent fudged the issue. The civil case, contrary to
what was reported in The Hill, was not about racial profiling. The
evidence showed that Gibson in fact did not profile and that is one of
the reasons that it won the case.”
Vijeta Uniyal: “Germany’s
leading national student associations have joined forces to fight the
anti-Israel boycott movement—Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS)—on
college campuses. Perhaps the first student initiative of its kind in Europe, the alliance comprises groups from across the political spectrum.”
Miriam Elman: “This past Friday, a Palestinian Authority official—Radi Nasser—was reportedly removed from his post at
the education ministry, and was also fired from his position as council
chief of the West Bank village of Deir Kadis near Ramallah (and could
face even more retribution in the days ahead), all because a few Jewish
young men participated in the wedding celebration of his son. The four
Israelis, who were visibly religious Jews based on their dress, were
residents of nearly settlements and based on the available video tapes they
and other revelers at the wedding party appear to have had a great
time. But these kinds of Jewish-Arab get-togethers in the West Bank are
anathema to anti-Israel haters—and to those who support BDS. So, Nasser
is now claiming that he never invited the Jewish attendees and threw
them out of the party. Unfortunately, these kinds of responses to simple
neighborly relationships are nothing new. We posted on a similar
incident several years ago, when the Palestinian Authority arrested a
group of Palestinians after they accepted an invitation to a holiday
Sukkoth celebration in the West Bank town of Efrat, Palestinian Authority finally releases Palestinians arrested for visiting Jewish Sukkah.
It’s difficult to see how peace and coexistence can happen when
Palestinians are punished just for meeting with each other over a
holiday meal or a festive life event.”

The First Female to Walk the Moon Back in May, NASA revealed plans to go back to the moon by 2024. The mission is aptly named Artemis, after the Greek goddess of the moon. In a statement from NASA, “Artemis was the twin sister of Apollo and goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology. Now, she personifies our path to the Moon as the name of NASA’s program to return astronauts to the lunar surface by 2024, including the first woman and the next man. When they land, our American astronauts will step foot where no human has ever been before: the Moon’s South Pole.” They say it’s very likely a woman will be included in the mission and we could see the first woman walk on the moon. Among the possibilities, a former Army helicopter pilot, a marine biologist, an astronaut currently at the International Space Station, and a fighter pilot! Let’s Make A Deal This week Democratic and Republican leaders will meet again to discuss a spending deal in order to avoid automatic spending cuts in the fall. Both sides say they’re not close to a deal. From Politico: “…[Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell and [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy — eager to avoid $125 billion in mandatory spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic spending unless a deal is reached to boost those limits — have quietly tried to get the negotiations back on track, as have Democratic leaders. Yet White House officials remain skeptical that Democrats, who want to increase domestic spending despite a rapidly rising deficit, will agree to any proposed deal, no matter what Republicans put on the table. “Unless Democrats show a willingness to negotiate and come off their unrealistic and unaffordable spending increases, then these meetings are just summer theater and things won’t change much,” said an administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Democrats, though, are equally as frustrated with Trump and the GOP leadership, noting that the president’s tax cut — his signature legislative achievement — is the reason for the growing deficit. They also point that Trump is wildly unpredictable in any negotiations, as even Republicans know, so that they don’t trust anything administration officials say unless Trump publicly endorses it.” Part of the spending bill is an increase in congressional members’ salaries. It’s tough sell to give yourself a raise when struggling to do your job. CNN reported, “The debate over the cost of living adjustment typically centers around a spending bill that funds the legislative branch, which Democrats were planning to bring to the floor as part of a current spending package. But they pulled out the legislative spending bill so Hoyer could have more time to sway members on both sides of the aisle.” Jon Stewart Continues to Seek Funds for 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund Last week actor and former Daily Show host Jon Stewart’s impassioned congressional subcommittee testimony went viral. It’s worth noting given Stewart and others’ reaction to the empty chairs that the hearing room was mostly empty because it was a subcommittee hearing, so only 14 of the 41 committee members were scheduled to be there. While it’s easy to be cynical about the trend of celebrities making appearances in hearings, as someone who knows several first responders who have dealt with health issues since 9/11, I’m glad to see the issue get attention. One former NYPD officer often tells me, “Many who were down there that day don’t think about ‘If I get cancer,’ rather, ‘When I get cancer.’ For better or worse, the celebrity factor brings awareness and media attention. Yesterday, Stewart appeared on Fox News Sunday. From Fox News: “More than 40,000 people have applied to the Victim Compensation Fund, which covers illnesses potentially related to being at the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon or Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after the attacks. More than $5 billion in benefits have been awarded out of the $7.4 billion fund, with about 21,000 claims pending. The current fund allows for claims through 2020, and Stewart is pushing to keep funding so that survivors could make claims and receive money through 2090, so that money remains throughout the lives of the people who need it. Stewart estimated that this would cost an addition $12 billion.” What I’m Reading This Week On deck this week is Own Your Everyday: Overcome the Pressure to Prove and Show Up for What You Were Made to Do by Jordan Lee Dooley. From the description: “Does it ever seem like you still have to find your purpose or that you’re stuck with “unfigured-out dreams”? Do you feel the pressure to prove yourself or worry about what others will think? You are not the only one. From accidentally starting a small business instead of using her college degree, to embarrassing herself onstage in front of thousands, to wasting time worrying about what others think or say, Jordan Lee Dooley knows exactly how that feels—and she’s learned some important lessons about living a purposeful life along the way.” A Case of the Mondays Dad bets daughter he can wipe up water before she can touch it (Twitter) Don’t disturb this dog when he’s watching bull-riding (Twitter) |
After
a whirlwind of epic European looks, the First Lady showed that she can
still “wow” a crowd in simple, classic designs. From John Binder’s Fashion Notes:
“For her first ensemble since she and President Trump’s European trip — where she curated a series of iconic fashion moments — Melania Trump opted for a girlish Calvin Klein suit in the palest shade of pink.
The virgin wool, double-breasted suit is from one of Raf Simons’ last
runway collections for the American brand before his recent departure.
The suit, retailing for at least $1,950, features tortoiseshell buttons and a sporty white and grey stripe down the side of each pant leg.”

06/17/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Hogging the Market; Behind ‘Enemy’ Lines; Freedom Run By Carl M. Cannon on Jun 17, 2019 08:29 am Good morning, it’s Monday, June 17, 2019. On this date in 1833, a Detroit mob took the law into its own hands. A sheriff died in the process and unease reverberated throughout the Michigan territory. But the mob was on the right side of justice, as I’ll explain in a moment. First, I’d point you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * Why Govt.-Funded Health Insurance Is Vital to Free Market’s Survival. Labor mobility is crucial to a robust marketplace, Allan Golombek argues, but employees are often reluctant to change jobs or start a new business for fear of losing health coverage. Acosta Is His Own Worst “Enemy.” Frank Miele writes that the CNN White House correspondent is practicing more journalistic sleight of hand in his new book. All the Democrats’ Men (Plus Nancy). I donned my satirist hat for this playlet. In N.C., Hog Farming’s as American as Chinese Food. In RealClearInvestigations, Steve Miller spotlights China’s growing control of the U.S. pork industry. Tillis-Coons Bill Would Enable Big Pharma’s Patent Abuse. Matthew Lane explains in RealClearHealth. Why Traditional Higher Ed Isn’t Dead Yet. In RealClearEducation, Paul Freedman reports on institutions poised to disrupt the disruptors. An Illegitimate Election in South Ossetia. In RealClearWorld, Alexis Mrachek offers evidence of Russia continuing to meddle in Georgia’s affairs. * * * With its easy proximity to Canada, Detroit was a popular Underground Railroad terminus, and in 1831 a determined slave couple from Kentucky ended up there. Thornton and Rutha Blackburn liked what they saw in Detroit and decided to stay. Two years later they were tracked to the city by a Kentucky “slave hunter,” however, and arrested. Slavery was not allowed in the young nation’s northwest territories, but contentious judicial decisions in local courts allowed for the extradition of runaway slaves to their original jurisdictions. This time, however, the free blacks of Detroit decided they’d had enough. In a dramatic scenario that sounds like it sprung from the imagination of Quentin Tarantino, two black women named Tabitha Lightfoot and Caroline French visited Mrs. Blackburn in the jail. While there, Mrs. French changed clothes with Mrs. Blackburn, who then left the jail as though she were one of the visitors. Friends then whisked her to Toronto before the authorities learned of the ruse. Upon discovering the switcheroo, a local sheriff named John M. Wilson warned that he would send Caroline French back to Kentucky in Rutha Blackburn’s place. This threat enraged the black community in Detroit, and on this date 1833, an armed crowd gathered in front of the jail where Thornton Blackburn was still being held. The prisoner persuaded a deputy to let him to talk to the mob — ostensibly to calm things down — but when Thornton went outside, someone slipped him a pistol, and all hell broke loose. In the ensuing melee Sheriff Wilson was beaten and fatally shot and Blackburn escaped. A mile out of town, a posse caught the carriage that had carried him to safety, but he had already slipped away. With the help of friends, Thornton was making his way to freedom on the other side of the Canadian border. The mess they left behind lit a fuse. Riots broke out that summer in the city, leading to martial law and onerous restrictions on blacks, many of whom emigrated to Canada. But that wasn’t all. Detroit’s first anti-slavery society was organized a year later, and by 1837, Michigan was admitted to the union as a free state. In the Civil War, nearly 15,000 Michiganders would die while fighting to preserve the Union and end slavery. Meanwhile, Rutha and Thornton set down roots in Canada and prospered. She changed her named to Lucie; he got a job as a waiter in the dining room at Osgoode Hall, which still stands. Later, they started a livery cab company that did so well they were eventually able to retire. They supported abolition and were active in helping other freed blacks, and both lived into the 1890s. According to historian Karolyn Smardz Frost, who wrote a book about the couple, Thornton Blackburn returned to Kentucky in the 1840s and pulled off a daring rescue of his mother. This incident was not reported at the time, and although it sounds improbable, truth can be more amazing than fiction. At the family cemetery in Toronto there are three gravestones. The third reads “Libby Blackburn,” who was 80 when she died in 1855. Carl M.

MEET THE PRESS
From NBC’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann
FIRST READ: With re-election on the line, Trump’s poll numbers are full of warning signs
As he formally kicks off his re-election bid Tuesday in Florida, President Trump faces some grim numbers.
His approval rating in the new NBC/WSJ poll stands at 44 percent among all Americans – well below the safe zone for any president.
Fifty-two percent of all voters say they are “very uncomfortable” about voting for him in 2020, according to the same poll.
And Trump’s own internal polls have him trailing Joe Biden in Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin – and even Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio.
The good news for Trump is that a lot can change with more than 500 days (!!!) until Election Day 2020.
In the April 2011 NBC/WSJ poll, just 43 percent of voters said they would “probably” vote for Barack Obama.
And at this same point in the 1992 presidential cycle, George H.W. Bush’s approval rating was at 71 percent, per Gallup.
Bush, of course, lost re-election, while Obama won his.
But here’s the bad news for Trump: His numbers have essentially been flat his entire presidency.
His first approval rating in the NBC/WSJ poll after his inauguration was 44 percent – exactly where he is today.
Indeed, with just a handful of exceptions, Trumps’ range in approval has hovered between 40 percent and 46 percent.
So the more the stories have changed in Washington, the more things have stayed the same.
And that’s a dangerous situation for any president looking for a rebound with his re-election on the line.
All grown up
The other story from our new NBC/WSJ poll is how Democrats’ support for impeachment has grown in the last month.
Overall, 27 percent of Americans say there’s enough evidence to begin impeachment hearings now — up 10 points from last month.
Another 24 percent think Congress should continue investigating to see if there’s enough evidence to hold impeachment hearings in the future, which is down eight points.
And 48 percent believe that Congress should not hold impeachment hearings and that Trump should finish out his term as president — unchanged from a month ago.
Almost all the growth in support for impeachment has come from Democrats, with 48 percent of them wanting impeachment hearings now, versus 30 percent who said this a month ago.
Just 6 percent of Republicans support beginning impeachment hearings now, while a whopping 86 percent say Trump should finish his term as president.
Among independents, 22 percent support impeachment hearings now; 34 percent want to continue investigating; and 44 percent oppose impeachment hearings.
TWEET OF THE DAY: (Fact-) Check, please!
Again, the numbers from our new poll he was apparently referring to:
- Begin impeachment hearings now: 27 percent
- Continue investigating to see if there’s enough evidence to hold impeachment hearings in the future: 24 percent
- Congress should NOT hold impeachment hearings and Trump should finish his term as president: 48 percent.
Iran poised to break uranium stockpile limit
Amid all the domestic political news about Trump and the Democratic primary,
don’t miss what’s happening in Iran.
Per
the AP: “Iran will break the uranium stockpile limit set by
Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in the next 10 days, the
spokesman for the country’s atomic agency said Monday while also warning
that Iran could enrich uranium up to 20% — just a step
away from weapons-grade levels.”
More: “The announcement by Behrouz Kamalvandi, timed for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, puts more pressure on
Europe to come up with new terms for Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal.
“The deal steadily has unraveled since the Trump administration pulled America out of the accord last year and re-imposed tough economic sanctions on Iran, deeply cutting into its sale of crude oil abroad and sending its economy into freefall. Europe so far has been unable to offer Iran a way around the U.S. sanctions.”
2020 VISION: Pete does “Meet”
In an interview with one of us(!) over the weekend, Pete Buttigieg addressed concerns that more socially conservative African-American voters may be reluctant to support him.
CHUCK TODD: But I do want to follow up. I’ve talked to African American congressmen who really like you and want to support you, where … some of their more conservative, religious-minded constituents, who vote straight ticket Democrat most of the time, would have trouble voting for you.
What do you say to those politicians in Washington who want to get behind your candidacy but are nervous about this?
MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG: I’d invite them to look at what happened in South Bend. I’m from a socially conservative community. When I came out, we didn’t know what the effects would be. It was actually during an election year. Mike Pence was the governor of our state. He was popular at the time. And what happened was I won with 80% of the vote.
What that tells you, I think, is that people, if you give them the chance, will evaluate you based on what you aim to do, what the results are, what the policies are. And I have every confidence that American voters, especially Democratic voters, will not discriminate when the opportunity comes up to choose the right leader for the future.
But speaking of South Bend and racial politics, Buttigieg will miss a planned appearance at a DNC LGBTQ gala in New York today, instead staying in South Bend to respond to an officer-involved shooting there early yesterday, per NBC’s Josh Lederman.
NBC affiliate WNDU reports that officers were responding to reports of a suspicious person going through cars when a 53 year-old suspect allegedly approached an officer with a knife raised.
The officer shot the suspect, who was transported to the hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead.
On the campaign trail today: In DC today beginning at noon, Joe Biden, Julian Castro, Andrew Yang, Michael Bennet, Elizabeth Warren, Eric Swalwell, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris address the Poor People’s Moral Action Congress… Swalwell, in Virginia, unveils his comprehensive framework for ending gun violence… And Kirsten Gillibrand and Amy Klobuchar speak at a DNC LGBTQ gala in New York.
DATA DOWNLOAD: And the number of the day is… 64 percent.
64 percent.
That’s the share of Democratic primary voters in our latest NBC/WSJ poll who say they are enthusiastic or comfortable with Elizabeth Warren, up from 57 percent in March.
A combined 27 percent say they have reservations about her candidacy or are very uncomfortable.
Compare that with voters’ comfort levels with Warren’s chief competitor on the left, Bernie Sanders.
A combined 56 percent are either enthusiastic or comfortable with Sanders, down from 62 percent in March. And 41 percent have reservations or are uncomfortable.
