Center for American Progress Ideas Conference 9am-4pm **live commentary thread**

Booker & Gillibrand don't have that solid ideology, they just do it for the donors. Booker actually voted for the Iran Deal & then apologized & what not.

Gillibrand's record is shocking, she literally reversed every position of hers, she was a proud blue dog who took pride in her conservative record & all of a sudden she is beyond a raging liberal. I wouldn't go & assume Booker & Gillibrand are Israel hawks - Just political opportunists !

If Neera Tanden wasn't managing this, this would be not a big flop. Atleast they should have carried it through 2-3 days, get some Labour, Planned Parenthood, Human Rights, & a range of other liberal group representatives, more Congressmen & Governors, even small Mayor or State Legislators who have doing a great job etc & even the odd Hollywood celebrity. Stretch it out for 2-3 days, make it genuinely about Democratic values & ideas.

This is more about Potential 2020 candidates pitching in which is totally a crap idea 4 years before & does nothing to CAP as a diverse ideological think-tank !

Very poorly done & I don't this surviving ! But what can you expect from the political hacks running Hillary's campaign !
