I’m just getting to this now (school vacation week).

10 minutes in, @EdMarkey us wiping the floor with him. It isn’t close. #Masen #mapoli
@EdMarkey “Hey @joekennedy why are you running?” - “Reasons; me (I cant stress this enough: me); and TRUMP”
“Hey @EdMarkey why are you still there?” “I wrote the Green New Deal, & a million other things you take for granted. I’m saving the world out here —“
@jimbraude “keep it brief pal”
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Appreciate the @jimbraude q re: Weymouth compressor, but the conflict of interest framing has no juice at all - doesn’t go anywhere. The question is what leverage a US Senator can use to prevent this and future such projects.
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Dark $ - yeah not feeling Ed’s answer here. OTOH where’s Joe’s $ coming from, if he’s getting it so easily.
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Two very good answers on immigration and Trumps ICE swat teams; @EdMarkey had more detail including where he took on Trump admin and won on medical deportations
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Braude: What will you offer Trump for his wall
Markey:
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Also @EdMarkey — TAKE MORE REFUGEES
Me:
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude There are no good answers on Afghanistan and anyone who tells you otherwise is kidding themselves.
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude If you want to vote against Ed or anyone else for the Iraq War vote I won’t stop you. It was a historic mistake.

But to my mind, that vote is a sunk cost; I look at what he’s done since, and what he is likely to do in the future.

There is no joy in this topic.
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Why are they asked about rent control

This is local, or perhaps statewide — but not a US senate issue
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Neither candidate is super-hot on #M4A

Sounds like the Bernie movement (et al) has some work to do beyond just getting a President elected. POTUS is not the Great Pumpkin, can’t pass #m4a with pure sincerity.
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Neither candidate super-hot on free college w/o means testing, as far as I can tell. Buttigieigism in #Masen

Just make it free.
@EdMarkey @joekennedy @jimbraude Bottom line:

Did @joekennedy provide a “fierce urgency of now” motivation for his candidacy? Goodness no.

Did @EdMarkey provide compelling reasons for *his* unique leadership going forward? (eg #GreenNewDeal ) Absolutely yes.

This isn’t close. It’s Ed.
