Pennsylvania. Needs. Women.

2 women in Congress

There are 435 members of Congress serving in the House and 100 Senators. In theory, there should be 218 women in the House and 50 women in the Senate. Right now there are 20 women in the Senate, an all-time high, and 84 women in the House. There are 84 women in the House, not 218, 62 of them Democrats and 22 of them Republicans. Slowly, slowly, slowly equality is coming to Congress. But you know what... some of the worst, most disgusting and lets qualified members of Congress are women-- think Joni Ernst (R-IA), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (New Dem-FL), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Kyrsten Sinema (Blue Dog-AZ), Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Gwen Graham (Blue Dog-AZ), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Cheri Bustos (Blue Dog-IL), Ann Kirkpatrick (New Dem-AZ), Barbara Comstock (R-VA). And so are some of the very best members: Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren (THE best member of Congress), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Donna Edwards (D-MD), Judy Chu (D-CA)...

That all said, Blue America doesn't endorse people based on their gender. On our post-primaries endorsement page for the House, we have 14 candidates, 7 women and 7 men. I didn't know that 'til I opened the page and counted just now. I want to see more women in Congress, but I want to see more women like Elizabeth Warren and Barbara Lee and Donna Edwards, not more like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Virginia Foxx and Diane Black. And the way we pick our candidates is by measuring them against an Elizabeth Warren or Barbara Lee. We look for candidates-- regardless of gender who are progressive and who are courageous. If they're women, all the better.

Last week, the Philadelphia Inquirer ran a piece by Justine McDaniel, "She. Can't. Win. Why PA Has No Women In U.S. House. "Women," she wrote, "represent 51 percent of Pennsylvania's population, but not one of its 18 House districts. Of 35 declared candidates running for those seats this fall, five are women. If history and money are indicators, none are likely to win."

Blue America is backing two women running for House seats, Mary Ellen Balchunis (PA-07) and Kerith Taylor (PA-05). The professional odds-makers give them virtually no chance to win. We don't agree. "You would think," Balchunis told The Inquirer in reference to the excitement over the Hillary presidential run, "that there should be all this focus to help us get at least one woman in there. Not because we're women, but because we should have a representative government... Women shouldn't just be those people in the political parties that lick envelopes and stamp them and help out at fund-raisers."

When Balchunis declared her candidacy, Nancy Pelosi-- the former House Speaker who famously said "when women win, America wins"-- immediately allowed her DCCC to recruit a conservative Wall Street white man to run against her. The DCCC did everything it could to undermine and sabotage Balchunis and spent $14,500 against her in the primary. Mary Ellen, who has endorsed by People for the American Way yesterday, by economic equality icon Lilly Ledbetter a few days earlier, had already been backed the Delaware, Montgomery and Chester county Democratic parties and by Joe Sestak, the last Democrat to hold the congressional seat. And by the AFL-CIO, SEIU, AFSCME, DFA, NOW, Planned Parenthood and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She slaughtered the DCCC candidate in the primary-- 74-26%, despite being heavily outspent. As soon as she won, Pelosi packed up her bags and left the district-- a swing district the DCCC had identified as a "must win" for Democrats to have any chance to take back the House-- ceding it, in effect, to crackpot NRA-fiend and Paul Ryan patsy Pat Meehan, the GOP incumbent. Pelosi has been stumbling around the country, drooling on herself and babbling that the Democrats can win back the House and that when women win, America wins.

The need for a more representative government is "always a consideration," said Preston Maddock, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. He said the party is focusing on electing Clinton and McGinty and does not make specific plans or goals for bringing other women into office.

"We can all do a better job of facing that reality and encouraging more women to run and making it easier on them to do so," he said.

Pennsylvania has never elected a female governor or U.S. Senator. Of the 50 states, it ranks 40th for its proportion of women in the state legislature. It is among 17 states without a woman in the House.

That puts Pennsylvania in the company of Alaska, North Dakota, and Iowa, whose combined populations don't match Philadelphia's; Montana, where the last female to make it to the House served one term in 1941; and Mississippi, which has never had a woman in Congress.

Of the seven Pennsylvania women-- all white-- who have served in the House, the first three succeeded their dead husbands. The fourth served for two years in the 1990s, and the rest came between 2001 and 2015.

"It's something that other people raise to me all the time," said Christina Hartman, a 39-year-old human-rights advocate and Democrat from Lancaster battling State Sen. Lloyd Smucker for an open House seat there. "They often single out Pennsylvania, not just for the lack of women in the delegation but for the classic old boys' network."

Hartman's race in Lancaster County, southern Chester County, and a part of Berks County including the city of Reading is the most competitive of the five. She was endorsed last week by EMILY's List, a PAC for electing women, and was put on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's list of emerging races. Hartman out-raised her GOP opponent in the last quarter by a sliver, with $205,611 on hand to his $203,085.

That puts her ahead of most of her counterparts. The average House challenger this year has raised $153,404, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The average House incumbent's campaign coffers: $1.2 million.

After working for pro-democracy nonprofits abroad, Hartman returned to Lancaster and volunteered herself for the seat. There, she has found some open minds, she said, but has also-- like other female candidates-- run up against "a very 1950s view of life."

"What we want to do is help folks to feel comfortable with the fact that women are great leaders," Hartman said.

Women bring collaboration and get-it-done grit of the sort that ended last year's government shutdown, the candidates say. They talk about health care, family care, and minimum-wage issues.

"If women were at the table," Balchunis said, "we would have equal pay."

...To Kerith Strano Taylor, a Jefferson County attorney making her second bid for the Fifth District seat, a lack of money is another barrier to being recognized. Like other challengers to incumbents, Strano Taylor is far behind her opponent, Rep. Glenn Thompson, in funding.

"I don't have a million-dollar war chest that would warrant [Clinton] coming to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania," Strano Taylor said. "If I was sitting on [more money], my party would be absolutely fascinated and interested."

After seeing other candidates and politicians address the state delegation at the Democratic National Convention in July, Strano Taylor asked organizers if she could speak. When she got a slot, she brought [Erin] McClelland and Balchunis up with her.

"Our state party writ large doesn't seem too keen on the fact that there are a bunch of women running for Congress," she said in an interview.

McClelland, of Harrison Township, Allegheny County, said she sees "an unintentional natural tendency to leave the congressional races out."

People who are passionate about electing women, "they're not grabbing onto that part of the congressional race," she said in an interview last week. "They're just still looking at it as a race that doesn't really matter."

We don't have a special ActBlue page for women or for Pennsylvania, but you'll find Mary Ellen Balchunis by clicking the thermometer on the left and you'll find and Kerith Taylor by click on the thermometer on the right. They can both use some help.

Hillary, Ed Snowden And The Millennial Vote

Yesterday, Hillary had an OpEd in Policy.Mic, Here's What Millennials Have Taught Me. Her point is that she's been listening to millennials and that she finds then "the most open, diverse and entrepreneurial generation in our country's history." Millennials were the mainstay of the Bernie Sanders movement as-- without the "help" of crooked like Wasserman Schultz, Harry Reid and corrupt party machines from one end of the country to the other, would have won the nomination for him. But now she needs their votes against the Trumpist boogeyman.

She notes that millennials have led "the way to a brighter future for all of us. You've fought for some of the most important accomplishments in our nation's history, like the Affordable Care Act and marriage equality. You've come together to challenge our country to protect human rights and strengthen families by fixing a broken immigration system, reforming our criminal justice system and ending the era of mass incarceration. And you've demanded that people of color be able to live their lives without fear of being killed at a routine traffic stop." And she talks about her own time in college, skipping over the fact that she was on the wrong side of history, an outspoken conservative, president of Wellesley's Young Republicans. Is she still missing the boat?

ObamaCare? Millennials want single payer, not a dysfunctional baby step in that direction, with built in profits for hated pharmaceutical monoplies. And, yes, millennials helped drag her away from her own instinctual, less than stellar record on marriage equality and, apparently, get her to shift her position on a conservative approach to criminal justice. Her attack on Trump is gratuitous and neither here nor there. Millennials are repulsed by him. But what is she offering to draw them in, to make it worth the bother of voting? Is it just a lesser-of-two-evils thing? Is that going to be enough? Maybe. She goes on to list some of her plans.

First, everyone who wants to go to college should be able to without drowning in debt. That's why I worked with Sen. Bernie Sanders to design a plan that will let everyone attend college debt-free. If you already have loans, we'll let you refinance them, defer them to start a business or forgive them if you spend 10 years in public service. You can even see how much you and your family could save under our plan by looking at the "college calculator" on our website. And we'll make sure a four-year degree isn't the only path to a good-paying job by supporting apprenticeships and other high-quality training programs.

Second, everyone should be able to get a job that pays the bills and can support a family. And not only that, you should be able to do work you love and find meaningful. So we'll create more good-paying jobs, raise the minimum wage and guarantee equal pay. This will help a lot of Americans, especially young people struggling to find footing in a difficult economy.

Third, no new parent should have to face the impossible choice between caring for a child or family member and losing a paycheck or even a job. It's outrageous that in 2016, the United States is the only developed country in the world without paid family leave of any kind. So we'll make high-quality child care and preschool available to every family in every community.  I've spent my career fighting to make a difference for children and families, and I can't wait to do even more as president.

Of course, to do any of these things, we can't have secret unaccountable money poisoning our politics. So I'll appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn Citizens United and even propose a constitutional amendment to do the same. And by doing that, we'll make sure that no special interests can get in the way of protecting and expanding civil rights, LGBT rights and all human rights.

Many of you have shared with me that it feels like you're out there on your own-- like no one has your back. It shouldn't be that way. If I'm fortunate enough to be elected, you will always have a champion in the White House. But I can't do it on my own. I need you to work with me, keep fighting for what you believe, hold me accountable. I can't promise we'll win every fight on our first try. But I can promise you this: I'll never stop fighting for you.

So let's stand together to show the world what our country, and your generation, really stands for. Let's overwhelm division and intolerance with compassion, understanding and unity. Let's make clear that Love Trumps Hate-- not just this November, but always.

Yeah, nice... and Kevin Drum made an even better case for her at Mother Jones Monday morning. He insists there's a top notch postive case to be made for Hillary, over and above how horrible Trump is. He starts with a caveat that she, like all other politicians, is far from perfect. "If you think she's too instinctively hawkish-- as I do-- that might be reason enough for a liberal to vote for someone else. On some issues-- supporting the Iraq War, supporting TPP, voting for the PATRIOT Act, etc.-- she's taken positions that might be flat deal killers. On other issues, you might think she's not strong enough, or that it took her too long to get to the right place. Finally, on a personal level, she's often over-secretive, overly lawyerly, and sometimes skates a little close to some ethical lines. She distrusts the press and withholds information too often. And she is, plainly, an establishment politician, with all the flaws that implies." He then lists 84 points that ought to make progressives (and most millennials are that) consider voting for her. Read it for yourself (here) but, minus the Trumpist threat-- and with all due respects to Kevin-- I'm not convinced. Blue America is now raising money for her campaign and I'm urging my friends and readers in swing states to vote for her.

Below is far from a scientific poll, but I asked twitter users who they would rather see as a U.S. senator, Ed Snowden or Patrick Murphy. Murphy is an unaccomplished Florida backbencher in Congress currently playing a bit role in the rise of Marco Rubio. Saudi Arabia's member of the House Intelligence Committee-- an actual traitor, not a whistleblower-- Murphy signed a letter urging President Obama to deny Snowden a pardon. These were the results:

What would get me enthusiastic about Hillary as something more than a way of stopping Trump? In the Oliver Stone film, Snowden, Hillary and Trump are represented, not by actors, but with archival footage. Predictably, Trump calls for Snowden's execution. Hillary isn't quite as bad but her attitude on Snowden is as bad today as her attitude about same sex marriage was not all that many years ago. She should reexamine that attitude. That may say a lot more to millennials, who overwhelmingly see him as a whistleblower and not as a the traitor the decrepit House Intelligence Committee is trying to paint him as.

This is very tough for any politician. I asked every member of Congress I know and every congressional candidate I know for a statement on Snowden. Other than from a handful of courageous Berniecrats, the silence was deafening. The kind of leadership it would take to stand up-- like Bernie has-- and make a case for Snowden would be monumental... and would say something undenialbly powerful to millennials about Hillary. Monday morning the editors of The Guardian called attention to the unbearable hypocrisy of the editors of the Washington Post on the matter. The Post, they wrote "stunned many people in the United States, including a large section of the country’s journalistic community, by coming out against a pardon for whistleblower Edward Snowden. Despite the newspaper having been responsible for publishing leaks by the former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor, its latest editorial urges President Barack Obama not to pardon him... Two other newspapers that published Snowden’s revelations-- the Guardian and the New York Times-- have run opinion pieces calling on the US administration to allow him to return to the US without facing any charges."



One of the Berniecrats who did get back to me on this was Kerith StranoTaylor, a congressional candidate running in PA-05, a very conservative district in north-central Pennsylvania. Imagine if Hillary issued a statement like this:

Ed Snowden is the collateral damage of a misguided effort to privatize our national security.  First, in an effort to "shrink government' thousands of private contractors were entrusted with unfettered access to the most secret details of our national security. Our government was spying on its own citizens. He pulled back the curtain. Snowden should be pardoned. He revealed to America that the erosion done to our civil liberties under the Patriot Act was too great. Without his actions, would the Patriot Act have ever been curtailed? Prosecuting Snowden at this point is as egregious as the threatened 16-year sentence for Deric Lostutter, the hacker that exposed the 2012 high school football players' rape case in Stuebenville, Ohio. Three boys who witnessed the rape (and did nothing to stop it) were granted immunity from prosecution, but the man who notified the world of the rape, is facing 16 years in prison. This is not the way the world was supposed to work. I do not condone vigilantism. We are a country of laws. However, our Justice system allows for leniency when warranted, and this is a case where a pardon is more than appropriate.

Wendy Reed is the progressive Democrat taking on Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy in the Bakersfield area. Her instincts are just right even if she hasn't immersed herself in this case. "I am happy to stand with whistleblowers and patriots who do for American democracy what journalists used to do" she told us a few moments ago. "With what little I know about the Snowden situation, I do support clemency."

Ray Metcalfe is the most recently endorsed Blue America candidate. He's running for the Alaska Senate seat currently occupied by Lisa Murkowski and he has very strong feelings about the Ed Snowden controversy. "Personally I consider Edward Snowden to be a hero," he told us yesterday, "and, according to polling information published in the Christian Science Monitor, 60 percent of Americans age 18 to 29, agree. I believe the law should protect, not prosecute, those who expose criminal activity in our government; unfortunately it does not. Prosecuting someone thought to be a hero by so many would be extremely divisive among Americans. Oliver North got off on technicalities after lying to Congress about the Reagan Administration's cocaine smuggling to fund the Contra rebels, and years later, six of his coconspirators were pardoned. Now President Obama wants to prosecute Snowden for telling the truth. What's wrong with this picture? The practice of classifying information is thought to be done to keep information from the enemy. Unfortunately it has all too often become a tool for keeping Americans from knowing what their government is doing. If elected, I will advocate for whistle blower protections and restrictions for what purposes information can and cannot be classified."

Another was San Antonio's Tom Wakely, a candidate in TX-21. An army veteran, his thoughts on Snowden explains why he has so much enthusiasm for his campaign in Austin and San Antonio. "Tones of politicians and journalists," he wrote, "like to wax poetic on their personal interpretations or strict adherence to our Constitution. However, in the wake of what Edward Snowden revealed to the world, we aren't having a proper discussion about the 4th Amendment. Warrantless data espionage should be a huge issue not just for politicians and journalists, but for every person on the planet. All too often you hear the argument from the public that they likely have nothing to hide, and subsequently don't care. Would that argument apply to physical frisks whenever authorities felt like it? Would the same argument apply to authorities keeping a physical eye on you at all times? I'm willing to bet for most folks that they'd feel extremely uncomfortable. Now the Washington Post is calling for their own source to not be pardoned. What a dangerous precedent this sets. 'Thanks for the scoop on unconstitutional searches, good luck in jail.' Is this really what journalists want? I can't imagine all the reporters of the Washington Post agreeing with this sentiment. There are a lot of questions regarding Snowden's decisions in the aftermath of these leaks, but I'd be willing to bet he'd cooperate and be able to answer all of them if our government granted him the ability to return home. I liken Snowden to Daniel Ellsberg, who changed my views on the Vietnam War and allowed me to become part of the Veterans for Peace movement. Our government is supposed to be for the people. Edward Snowden proved that in the online realm, the government is skeptical of the people. Snowden acted for the people. We should bring him home with a pardon."

If you're already a DWT reader, you already know Tom Wakely and Wendy Reed. Ray Metcalfe is a former Alaska state legislator renowned for anti-corruption crusades in his state and Kerith is a biker and an attorney and you can help them all win their races by contributing at the Blue America thermometer below:

UPDATE: Grayson

Grayson was overseas when the Intelligence Committee sent their letter to Obama urging him to not pardon Ed Snowden. When he got back, he told me that "President Obama issued Presidential Policy Directive 19 for the specific (and much needed) purpose of protecting whistleblowers in the so-called 'intelligence community.' To say that anyone could be prosecuted for such whistleblowing-- in a secret trial, no less-- makes a mockery of that directive. Why even pretend that we protect whistleblowers, when in fact the military-intelligence complex gnaws at their bones mercilessly?"

How Right-Wing Opportunists In Pennsylvania Are Using Trump For Their Own Crackpot Schemes

Trump is way ahead of Cruz and Kasich among Pennsylvania Republican voters. Early yesterday, Fox released a new poll showing that likely Pennsylvania GOP primary votes for April 26's Super Tuesday are looking like this right now:

• Trump- 48%
• Kasich- 22%
• Cruz- 20%

Hard to believe that after the intense spotlight that's been shining on Trump lately, he can still muster that kind of support, even among Republicans. Friday Trump opened a campaign office in tiny suburban Clarks Summit, an all-white suburb northwest of Scranton in NEPA. Only 8 members of Congress have endorsed Trump but two of them are NEPA representatives, anti-immigrant fanatic Lou Barletta and anti-regulations nut Tom Marino. Marino may be against regulations for corporations that poison the drinking water and pollute the air or companies that want to ride roughshod on workers, but he-- like Barletta-- is a stalwart on regulations in people's personal lives. Two anti-LGBT extremists, they both favor ending a woman's right choose. And neither seems very turned off the Trump's clumsy admission that Republican law-makers want to punish women who get abortions. Both Barletta and Marino showed up in Clarks Summit Friday for the opening of the Trumpist office. Re-endorsing Trump's crackpot views, Marino-- safe in a carefully gerrymandered deep red district, to the folks who came to the ribbon-cutting ceremony "When you know in your heart and in your mind you're doing the right thing: step out front and do it and don't be afraid to do that."

And of course, Barletta and Marino aren't the only Pennsylvania Republican politicians eager to jump onto Trump’s "Women Must Be Punished" bandwagon. The state House's Health Committee votes today to ban abortions after 20 weeks and to criminalize doctors who perform the new definition of "late-term" abortions, giving Pennsylvania the most restrictive and harmful abortion ban in the nation. The strategy of the anti-choice zealots eager to punish women and criminalize doctors who perform abortions is to rush a full House vote by Wednesday. This is what Pennsylvania Trumpists are not telling their constituents:

• 20-Week Bans Are Part of an Agenda to Ban All Abortion: The introduction of these bans doesn’t come in isolation. They’re part of a dangerous, out-of-touch, and coordinated effort to chip away at abortion access. Anti-abortion politicians in Congress and state legislatures are pushing their agenda, bit by bit, to ultimately outlaw abortion completely.

• 20-Week Bans Criminalize Doctors: Politicians shouldn’t have the right to take options away from doctors in dangerous medical situations or prevent them from informing patients about all their health care options-- and politicians certainly shouldn’t be allowed to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term with no chance of survival.

• 20-Week Bans Are Unpopular: These bills-- and the extreme agenda they are part of-- are deeply unpopular with the public. When Americans understand the real-world impact of 20-week bans, a solid 60 percent of voters oppose them. In fact, 78 percent of Democrats, 62 percent of Republicans, and 71 percent of Independents-- say this is the wrong issue for Congress and their state legislators to be spending time on.

• 20-Week Bans Are Unconstitutional: 20-week bans are unconstitutional and a clear attempt to erode Roe v. Wade at the expense of women’s health. In fact, 20-week ban proponents are outspoken about their goal to challenge the 1973 Supreme Court decision protecting a woman’s right to safe and legal abortion.

Last cycle we met Kerith Strano Taylor, then a first-time congressional candidate who ran in Pennsylvania's biggest congressional district, PA-05 (currently represented by lazy backbencher Glenn Thompson) which covers almost a quarter of the state and includes everything from Huntingdon, State College and Lock Haven in the east, through Punxsutawney, the Allegheny National Forest and up into the eastern and southern suburbs of Erie. Kerith-- far better known to the voters today-- is taking on Thompson again. She is a Bernie Sanders progressive and has endorsed him and is running on the same issues of economic opportunity and equality that he's running on (and is on the Blue America Bernie Congress page). Last night Kerith gave us some of the background on how draconian the Pennsylvania legislators have become:

Representative Kathy Rapp, the sponsor of the 20 week abortion ban that is being fast-tracked in the Pennsylvania House, legislates from a safe seat in the northwest of Pennsylvania. She has had a challenger in one of the six elections she has endured since taking office. She does not face a challenger this year.

She and her cosponsors are trying to fully leverage the lopsided registration of their districts. This bill was presented last Friday and was scheduled for a vote on the following Monday. They have shut down debate. The leadership is refusing to hold hearings. What makes this most outrageous, is that this band of merry men (and women), held the entire state budget hostage for almost a year. By refusing to negotiate with the governor on education funding, many social services agencies and schools were being starved out. Foster care families were given IOUs to care for children. Domestic violence shelters were closed for lack of funding. We still have social workers working for reduced pay. Schools had to borrow millions, the interest for which will not be reimbursed, or close their doors. Early-childhood education programs were closed mid-year.

This is a pro-birth measure. It is not a pro-life measure. Anyone who believes it is a pro-life measure is ignoring the lives of millions of children that are being affected by this recalcitrant behavior. The governor has pledged to veto this bill if it makes it to his desk. After the budget impasse many people who were not paying attention to their politics before, started asking "Whose fault is this?" When they were encouraged to call their state Representatives, they blanched, "I voted for him." Of course they did. They didn't have any other option.

Sadly, this is the logical consequence of the redistricting in 2011. Pennsylvania is a blue state, with almost 1 million more Democrats that Republicans. The Democrats won all statewide Judicial seats in November 2015; 3 Supreme Court seats, 1 Superior Court seat and 1 Commonwealth Court seat. Yet, in the general elections, the State House and Senate enjoy a Republican majority because of the careful gerrymandering that was done after the last census. Despite being a Democratic state, we only hold 5 of the 18 Congressional seats, and only 7 Republicans are even being challenged this year. Obviously, Governor Wolf was elected with a clear margin. This could have been interpreted as a mandate for him to repair what he pledged to while campaigning: education funding. But each of the extreme, Tea Party Republicans were also elected with what could have been interpreted as a mandate to stop him. A perfect political storm, and entirely man-made.

Kerith road her bike to the Clinton County Fair and met with county Democratic chair Joe Waltz

Re-read what Kerith told us in the summer of 2014 about working across the aisle for the people of the commonwealth instead of for scoring points from hyper-partisan extremists hopped up on Hate Talk Radio. "Imagine," she wrote at the time, "what could happen if those who served in Congress were adept at the very thing we need them to do: negotiate, compromise, and promote the best interests of their districts and their nation. But, we don’t require this, and instead get a body of legislators that is incapable of negotiation, demonizes the art of compromise, and puts their self interests over our interests. Negotiation is critical to solving the challenges that we face as a nation, and yet our elected representatives can’t do it. Climate change is threatening our safety and security, yet Congress won’t touch the issue with a 10 foot poll. Our minimum wage has remained stagnant since 2009, yet our Representatives can’t be bothered to talk about poverty and income. They cannot even muster the will to have a discussion about crisis on our Southern border. I could give example after example, but suffice to say that reason and negotiation has been tossed aside in favor of affect and soundbites, and compromise has been thrown out the window."

Please consider helping her get her message out in Pennsylvania's biggest district, a district where voters are just so turned off to the system that many are eager to cast anti-establishment votes in 2 weeks, whether for Trump or for Bernie.
