The Rick Smith Show

Bob Ney, Political Analyst/Former OH Congressman @BobNey

Bob Ney: On the polling, Biden did not get a bump out of the convention. I'd anticipated that since it was a virtual convention. Both conventions will be a wash when it comes to that.

Scott Dworkin, co-founder Democratic Coalition @funder @TheDemCoalition

Scott Dworkin: You don't bring a politically-charged case unless it's airtight. Roger Stone, Steve Bannon. No matter who you are, you have to be sure & do extra due diligence, get extra evidence. You can't rely on just one person.

Sarah Burris: Trump has torn down these institutions in such a way that if these institutions aren't rebuild, we won't have a new voting rights act that helps keep people of color from being marginalized. Things are really at risk here.

Will Bunch: If we do away with the conventions, then we need to make sure states have equal influence instead of Iowa & New Hampshire getting 60% of the influence. This year North Carolina had the decision.

Pedro da Costa: The fact that we're even arguing about the postal service shows how backwards we are. By now, we should be able to vote over a secure phone line. There are many ways to go about voting.
