Tuesday, May 20, 2025 - Keisha's comeback bid & Geoff's unwelcome advice to Democrats

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms ended all the speculation and ⁠announced her campaign for Georgia's governor's office⁠ early today. ⁠Greg Bluestein from the Atlanta Journal Constitution had a prolonged Q & A with Bottoms ⁠and it was somewhat revealing, actually. I'm still only lukewarm to the prospects of her being the Democratic party's nominee, but it's hard to ignore ⁠her introduction ⁠being an effective launch. ------ Former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, the ex-Republican, has ⁠advice for the Democratic Party⁠ - to take a "new" direction he says. The problem is, this "new" direction is the same direction the party's tried taking since the ascendancy of Ronald Reagan - appeal to the center - and it's only failed the party more than it's aided them, but sure. Actually, no; Geoff should work harder to help sanity retake the GOP instead of trying to remake the Democratic Party to his liking. ------ Bill Maher' sort of fallen from grace with a lot of us on the left, but occasionally he still delivers a "New Rule" worthy of sharing, and last weekend, he ⁠called out those on the right and the left for being so lacking in having 'core convictions.'⁠
