@therealNWC @McLartyAssoc On the U.S. election, @s_segal asks @therealNWC to comment.

"There is not a lot of confidence on the direction of the country...There is not a celebration of the economy everyday, rather, a lot of furrowed brows."

@therealNWC @McLartyAssoc @s_segal There is a battle between the left and center-left. That to me is extremely healthy, while people are criticizing this divide. Voters are smart, and they will make sensible choices as they make their decisions, says @therealNWC at #CouncilARG.

@therealNWC @McLartyAssoc @s_segal At #CouncilARG, @s_segal spoke of the influence of social media on how people think about elections.

@therealNWC asked the room who grew up thinking about how to manage "influencers." The answer is no one.

@therealNWC @McLartyAssoc @s_segal At #CouncilARG, @s_segal and @therealNWC discuss the U.S. impeachment situation.

"It took people listening to the tapes and to hear the president order the CIA to cover-up the Watergate investigation. That is what drove Nixon out of the White House, not 18 months of testimony."

@therealNWC @McLartyAssoc @s_segal As @s_segal opens the floor for questions at #CouncilARG, @therealNWC is asked about Venezuela.

He said: Venezuela does not make for a very healthy or intelligent debate in Washington...It is (among other things) heavily looked at as a proxy for Cuba.

@therealNWC @McLartyAssoc @s_segal On the democratic candidates in the election, @therealNWC says that what the American people want is somebody seasoned, reliable, trustworthy, and whose heart they can see.
