Chris Murphy and Andy Beshear need to organize the Democrat opposition. We need unity and a strong spokesperson to represent all of us - the Democrats, Independents, people protesting in the streets, lawyers fighting back, students, etc. We need a loyal opposition with a loud and clear message and a leader to shout our message about the Trump/Musk danger - hold daily press conferences - give examples - show that our message is united. We need united leadership under one effective voice backed by all the other good Democrats to lead our way. We need it now before Trump declares any more national emergencies and stops the protests next.

I think Chris Murphy has been working heartily on that.

Yes, both of them are great! At this point, Chris Murphy is the only one I see our there fighting.

I agree and would add Dem Gov Pritzker of Illinois. He has been fearless and very vocal (and he has resources) bc, unfortunately money wins races under our current flawed system.

Beshear is a real leader!

The Sanders / Walz / AOC tours of non-blue districts and states is a great start. Even better would be to bring along a few dozen folks from blue areas to TALK with the independents and other interested parties. They've been told such lies for so long, let us humanize ourselves!

The S\W\OAC tour should be on MTN as much as possible. Magas declared war against us must be met with a furious counter attack..

Dear Ben. Great interview- Governor Beshear represents democracy and our core American values. Let’s hope he gets more democrats to follow his lead. Thank you..

Beshear is the kind of candidate that can win back the White House. While not a fan of the religion part, I can see how he would have broad appeal to a big swath of the nation.

RRMasters's avatar

But this is why he has appeal across both parties. He doesn’t push the religion but has his own personal beliefs, which he doesn’t have an issue sharing. I am not a religious person but I hardily support Andy having his beliefs.

Wow. He’s incredible. What a breath of fresh air. Thank you for interviewing him!

Loved the interview. That’s the kind of leader we need in this country. I hope Democrats listen to this interview and can take away from it what they should be doing and how to speak to people.

I kept saying that Kamala needed to pick him

He wasn’t even considered

What a leader

A democrat governor in a totally red state

He is out there listening to his own people

Not afraid to have his point of views

Not afraid to be approached by his constituents

Not afraid to bash the orange blob

Great interview

Thank you for having him on your show

Totally agree. Great communicator.

Jenny Hyde's avatar

Agreed.He would have been an awesome option for v.p.Going forward maybe President!

Nora L.'s avatar

He did take a trip to “talk”. And nothing else was said by him. Mitch McConnell sure had plenty to say about it, however.

Love Beshear!

Sue Saunders's avatar

he should run for president!

RRMasters's avatar

I believe that is his plan. He has already said he didn’t want Mitch’s seat.

Contented Life's avatar

WOW! He’s absolutely opposite of Trump. How inspiring to see a real human in politics

I like him better than newsome and Shapiro. He finally said what I've always been saying, call it starving, not food insecurity. He makes a lot of sense. Shapiro on the Bill Maher real time just did a lot of double talk and did not answer any question directly. He was the old fashioned two-faced politician. Of course we know what newsom has spent two weeks doing, talking to Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk as if he believes everything they say
