Inside the Democrats' Café CaliforniaBy Clarice FeldmanWhat do you do when your party has no viable policies acceptable to voters and no candidate to credibly lead them? I wanted to find out, so I wandered over to the Café California, where Democrats never leave. I'm old enough that with a bit of padding and an ugly large hat, I could look like a Bella Abzug wannabe, and I sat in the middle of the room, turning my hearing aids up to full blast. I couldn't stare at the speakers and don't know most of them, so I can't give you their names, but this is what I recall of the conversations around me.
"Now we've got him. Manafort was convicted on eight counts."
"For things that happened in 2007, involved Ukrainians, not Russians, and had nothing to do with Trump."
"Well, there's the Cohen conviction."
"It says right here in the New York Times – Cohen made the extraordinary admission that he paid a pornographic film actress 'at the direction of the candidate' to secure her silence about an affair."
"That doesn't seem to be illegal, even if he was, for once, telling the truth. Professor Dershowitz says, 'Any candidate has the right to contribute unlimited amounts to his own campaign.' And if you argue that somehow it was not reported and that that was a violation, he counters: 'Do you know how many technical violations the Obama campaign has committed and every other campaign has committed? Failure to report a contribution by the candidate itself is essentially jaywalking.'"
