Yesterday

Becerra comported himself well.

The biggest take away I had of the entire evening -- what a collection of interesting ideas + energies...
If these individuals could set aside their political personas + combine forces in a coalition / collaboration
focused on California's many problems... they could drive solutions that benefit all Californians + create a
robust model that could be game-changing for the rest of the nation.

There was a time when Americans worked together to solve problems... That focus needs to be resurrected
now... These folks could provide solutions our nation is craving -- much like Mandami is doing for New Yorkers...

At least this debate left me hopeful rather than depressed + shaking my head...
