A nomination for surrogate

Good article here about HIllary’s recent speech skewering Donald Trump. There is a silver lining, however alloyed it might be, in having Hillary as our candidate. The Donald doesn’t know how to handle strong women, and it is beginning to show.

I’ve said before that I really think Hillary should have a band of female surrogates going after the Donald. I really don’t think the Donald could handle it. I have a nominee for a member of the band, by the way.

I went to the Connecticut Democratic Progress dinner last night. I think that’s what they call it. You know, it’s the dinner that used to be named after a couple of racist presidents and a fairly unobjectionable machine politician.

Anyway, the featured speaker was Jennifer Granholm, the former governor of Michigan. She was great, and I’ve no doubt she could skewer the Donald quite effectively. The Democrats have never done surrogates very effectively, but this is a year in which they should definitely take it up with a vengeance. Not only would the surrogates be effective in going after the Donald, but they would draw fire that would otherwise be relentlessly aimed at Hillary. Trump has a short attention span, and he’s just going to go after the last person that attacked him. Granholm could more than hold her own. In fact, she might even be able to make the “small hands” charge stick. It’s truly a shame she was born in Canada. I’d rather she was the candidate than Hillary.
