She is good, and 100% spot on!

It will be interesting to see if she can gain any traction. My expectation is that the level of corruption is so bad in Baltimore that she doesn't have a chance. But kudos to her for trying to help take back her city. I've never understood why the Republicans didn't try a similar message in other places which are nothing but wastelands under Democratic rule.

Is it wrong to want to donate to her campaign? Coming from someone who's never donated to a campaign. She is so on point.

It is not wrong to contribute to candidates who support positions you agree with. And as far as I know, there is nothing illegal or wrong about contributing money to the campaigns of candidates outside of your own district or state. I remember reviewing campaign finance reports last election during the city council race in my city and noticed out of state contributions for more than 1 candidate.

The libs do that all the time.

Gorge Soros supports candidates outside of his district all the time, including Abbott....

Seems whats good for the goose should be good for the gander.

I would be interested in documentation for your claim that Soros has ever contributed to Gov. Abbott, and if so, that the contribution was accepted. My expectation is you have just libeled Gov. Abbott.

She's appearing live as a guest on Fox News right now. Harris Faulkner interviewing. And Klacik speaks very well extemporaneously; does really well without a script.

This video reminds me of a business trip I took many years ago. I spent two nights in Baltimore and it was scary.
I still remember telling people that the neighborhoods looked like a bombed out war zone. Before it got dark
I drove around a little looking for "the good part of town", but I couldn't find it. I guess it hasn't changed much.

Just in case you missed it, Kim Klacik was one of the speakers tonight for the opening day of the Republican convention. She did a very good job. I'm sure it'll be on YouTube in a day or two.

Saw on Facebook tonight that MSNBC took a commercial break just as she was about to speak. Typical leftist MSM maneuver to Keep her from being heard.

You should see Mike Rowe's write-up about her video. He's from Baltimore himself. I always enjoy reading his posts. He's quite the wordsmith.

The Republican party will die if it doesn't visibly offer a path to wealth and success to everyone. Today, the top 10% of earners own 87% of the securities outstanding: historically that kind of wealth imbalance has ALWAYS led to revolution. People want to be independent and hold their heads up, but the crushing costs of city rent/real estate, education, and healthcare are killing that hope for tens of millions of Americans. The Democrats tried to make those things affordable, and failed so spectacularly that no almost no-one can afford them. The Republicans, instead of offering real solutions to those problems, are adamant that everything is fine when it clearly is not.

The party of Lincoln, the party of opportunity and freedom, the party that ended the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the party that won the Cold War with dollars instead of nukes and lives has become the party of preserving the status quo at all costs. The increasingly leftward swing of the Democrats reflects a huge number of young people who cannot see a pathway out of poverty and cannot imagine anything beyond government handouts. The US isn't what it was in the 1970s or 1980s: you can't give the registrar at a land grant college $100, the book store another $100, and then keep the rest of the cash from your job for rent, food and beer. It's worse for folks who didn't go to college. We exported stunning numbers of jobs to China, and if there is one reason why Trump won, it's that he promised the people of the Midwest that he'd bring them back while Obama pointe-blanc told them to pound sand.

Ms. Klacik is addressing that with her words and her example, and for a group of people that the Republican party has ignored for a long time. If the Republican party wants to remain a viable political entity (instead of the Socialists and Communists vying for control of American politics in 2050), then it has to offer something to people who aren't retired millionaires. When AOC pointed out that giving Amazon billions in tax write offs to come to NYC, she should've been drowned out amidst the angry chorus of Republicans deriding government handouts picking winners. When Bernie Sanders elicits frenzied cheers from students who cannot afford tuition, the Republicans need to be able to point to exactly why college has become so insanely expensive and how they intend to fix that (I'd suggest allowing bankruptcy to discharge student loans). I can't tackle the cost of healthcare in one post, but it's right up there.

Unless the Democrats suddenly become pro-gun, this matters for all of us.
