By Matt Viser Matt Viser National political reporter Email Bio Follow March 9 at 7:05 PM AUSTIN — To polite applause, Howard Schultz pushed his case for independent centrism. Nearby, Sen. Elizabeth Warren made an impassioned case for breaking up the country’s biggest technology companies. A few blocks away, former congressman Beto O’Rourke was mobbed after sitting through the premiere of a documentary about his unsuccessful 2018 Senate campaign.
Over the course of the weekend, many sat for an hour-long interview. Most dodged questions about whether President Trump should be impeached, said they are eager to see special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report, and heaped praise on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , who sometimes seemed to overshadow them all.
“I will use humor,” she said, providing as an example her response to his tweet making fun of her snowy announcement speech. “You know what I’d like to see? How your hair will work in a blizzard, Mr. Umbrella Man.” “I know I can be tough on people,” she added. “Sometimes too tough, that I can push them too hard, that I can always do better.”
Kasich, a former Republican governor of Ohio who ran for president in 2016, outlined his support for combating income inequality, passing comprehensive immigration reform and fighting climate change. He ridiculed the president’s “boneheaded decisions” and reveled in the number of women in office. Schultz criticized many Democratic proposals as unrealistic, saying the candidates are living in an “Alice in Wonderland” fairy tale. He said taxes need to be raised, but he wouldn’t say by how much. He would leave that to “people a lot smarter than me.”
Looks like the GOP should be doing the same.
