Anyone know who is going to do the Democratic response

[TNNurse]

to the bragging and lying?? I guess it has to be a member of Congress. I was hoping for Pete B.

[dalton99a]

1. Elissa Slotkin

[TNNurse]

2. Thanks, I will listen to her,

but not to the criminal.

[kacekwl]

3. Who ?

[MIButterfly]

4. Newly elected senator from Michigan.

[choie]

5. oh brother.

Why not have Chris Murphy or Sheldon Whitehouse to do it. Another weak decision.

[SKKY]

6. She would not be my choice either, but she will definitely bring the goods...

...She's not like a Democrat version of Katie Britt. She'll spit fire.

[mikelewis]

8. I think they're just laying low and waiting for the base to turn on him...

and well... it seems to be working. Without any actually ability to follow through on any threats... what's the point of threatening? The Dems need to keep working and play it smart... as they seem to have been. Let Trump talk... let Elon gut the government... the Mayonnaise Sandwich eating trailer trash out there need to suffer a little bit... when it comes down to eating or selling your gun and bullets... then the Democrats can just ask... is this what you wanted?

Then when a Democratic President Takes office.... well... look at all the new power He/She can wield.

15. I disagree

No one is suggesting using the speech to threaten anybody. It should be used to wake people up. We are in the middle of a coup. It could be used to urge the People to nonviolently march against what is happening.

Your answer seems to indicate that you feel that there will BE another free and fair election. Things are no longer that way. "Let Elon gut the Government..." WTF? What makes you think that there will be anything left for us to work with after that?

All I'm saying is, here's an opportunity to summarize rumpy's first 100 days, and point out the consequences. Wake people up.

9. Personally, I would like to see it be AOC.

She would really give them what-for! She is absolutely fearless. But if it has to be a senator, then Elizabeth Warren or Amy Klobuchar.

Elissa Slotkin is one of those "I work with both Democrats and Republicans to get things done" which may have been okay with the old Republican party but certainly not with the Trumplicans of today. There's nothing to work with now.

16. Chris Murphy is doing the MoveOn alternative broadcast.

14. Cowards! I want Jasmine!

I want a fire-spitting, no-shit, had it up to here woman who’ll name names and call out deeds. I want fury!

[EndlessWire]

7. I don't know who she is.

I want someone who will speak to the People and carry a wake up call. Who is writing her speech? I just think that a main leader would be better.

[MichMan]

10. You will know her after she gives it n/t

Why not give her a chance before you dismiss her out of hand ?

[EndlessWire]

12. This is an opportunity

to inform people of the coup that is going on. We need a true opposition leader to speak to the People. NO ONE except her own people will know who she is. She might have been good for a normal response in better times. She might very well be a firebrand, but once the speech is over, gone is the opportunity.

Anyone who gives this speech runs the risk of retribution, so it feels like a sacrifice here.

[Nanjeanne]

11. She's one of the few Ds who voted to confirm Kristi Noem.

[EndlessWire]

13. Isn't Noem the one

who shot her dog and bragged about it?

I don't hold much hope for this rebuttal speech.

[Nanjeanne]

17. Yes.
