N.Y. Democratic Committeeman: 'Trump Is George Wallace With Twitter'

The media mavens, moguls and boldface names spotted today at Michael's.

lunch at michaelsPolitics were on the menu at Michael’s today. In the wake of last night’s Democratic debate, we heard plenty of talk about the stark contrast between the tone of the Democratic showdown and the Republican smackdowns. “It’s heartening to know there’s still some civility among some politicians,” observed one media maven who watched the CNN broadcast hosted by Anderson Cooper (who seems to have garnered universal praise for keeping things moving). Another one quipped: “The best part of the whole thing was there was absolutely no sign, at least physically, of Donald Trump.”

I was excited to sit down with longtime Democratic boosters Joan Gelman and Robert Zimmerman to get their take on the debate.
