Gravel is one of several former Democrats turned off by the Democratic Party or the Clinton campaign, some even before the emails from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign were published by Wikileaks or the undercover videos from James O’Keefe which seem to show subcontractors to the Clinton campaign promoting voter fraud.
Gravel, a life-long Democrat until 2008, the year he entered the race for the Democratic presidential nomination along with fellow Senators Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and John Edwards, agrees with Donald Trump that the electoral system “is rigged, but what else is new? That’s why voters are so disillusioned.” Gravel says his 2008 candidacy was torpedoed by the Democratic establishment much as Bernie Sanders’ campaign was, when General Electric chairman Jeff Immelt excluded him from NBC’s presidential primary debates (NBC was owned by GE), because of his opposition to nuclear power. (Gravel now promotes a Constitutional amendment to create direct democracy, and is soured on the possibilities of elections. He quotes a saying attributed to Mark Twain: “If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”)
“I learned nothing new from the emails that I didn’t already know about the Clintons,” Terry Michael, a Capitol Hill Democratic press spokesman for 17 years.. “Together, they comprise an unbridled bundle of naked ambition.” Michael was a Democratic press person for most of his career, working for the lIlinois House Democrats from 1973-74; for the late Sen. Paul Simon, during Simon’s first five years in the U.S. House; for the late Cong. Bob Matsui, from 1981-83; and for the Democratic National Committee, where he worked from 1983-87, before serving as communications director for Simon’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination and founding the Association of House Democratic Press Assistants.
“Our nation needs to heal. We want to heal. We want peace between the races. We want to make sure that our youth, whether they’re white, back, Hispanic, have jobs. We want to make sure that the Supreme Court, you know, that the constitution is protected. Those are American issues. That has absolutely nothing to do with your race. That’s to protect this nation.”

Finalists chosen for Great Communicators Tournament
26 OctThis was published earlier today at Breitbart.
Three finalists were chosen yesterday out of twelve semi-finalists in the Great Communicator Tournament, a contest that offers three cash prizes annually – $10,000, $5,000, and $2,500 – to millennials who can craft the most inspiring elevator pitches for libertarian oriented political messaging.
The only question now is which of the three finalists – Charles Blatz, Jim Pagels, or Ben Klutzy – will win which prize.
Blatz, a video producer who was a theater major, co-wrote and starred in Hungry People, The Musical, an off Broadway performance that explored homelessness in New York City. Pagels, is an economics researcher and journalist who likes to do visual presentation of data, like sports scores. Klutsey is a research in international finance regulation at George Mason University.
The three finalists face off tonight at the D.C. Improv, a venue in downtown Washington, in the heart of the K Street corridor. The contestants will mainly be delivering messages – that are supposed to be inspirational, aspirational, and humorous – that would lead to a lot of pink slips for the lobbyists there. The judges are Fox News contributor Guy Benson, Federalist writer Molly Hemingway, and PR maven Beverly Hallberg,
Though semi-finalists are picked from 100 entrants from around the country who submit videos, and the finalists are picked in a round of extemporaneous speaking trials. “There are three rounds with different topics and four competitors in each. One finalist is chosen from each round, for a total of three finalists,” McKenzie Snow, one the semifinalists cut in the last round of competition, explained. “ Ms. Snow, an education policy wonk, runs a local Toastmasters group in D.C.
Blatz feels good about is chances because of his background: “It’s always a toss up when you go live. That’s why I love theatre because it trains you to be ready for anything in the moment. you have to be ready for any unexpected thought, stutter, or slip up. When you’re going live, there are no retakes.” This year’s finalists were from Kentucky, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, and D.C.
The finalists were announced Tuesday night at a happy hour at the libertarian Cato Institute.
Three years old, the tournament in previous years held its finals in Grand Rapids, Michigan and Denver, Colorado. But tomorrow night if you’re in D.C.and needs some inspiration in this election season, you can get a free ticket from the sponsoring non-profit, ThinkFreelyMedia.
