Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Yesterday, this feature spotlighted the de facto formal leader of the Democratic Party, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who broke the news to her raucous caucus. Barring overwhelming evidence and enough GOP buy in, there will be no impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, said the California Democrat.
Now, in comments to Rolling Stone, Speaker Pelosi tossed more cold water on the far-left wing of her party.
Said Pelosi to Rolling Stone:
“When they say Medicare for All, people have to understand this: Medicare for All is not as good a benefit as the Affordable Care Act. It doesn’t have catastrophic [coverage] — you have to go buy it. It doesn’t have dental. It’s not as good as the plans that you can buy under the Affordable Care Act. So I say to them, come in with your ideas, but understand that we’re either gonna have to improve Medicare — for all, including seniors — or else people are not gonna get what they think they’re gonna get. And by the way, how’s it gonna be paid for? Now, single-payer is a different thing. People use the terms interchangeably. Sometimes it could be the same thing, but it’s not always. Single-payer is just about who pays. It’s not about what the benefits are. That is, administratively, the simplest thing to do, but to convert to it? Thirty trillion dollars. Now, how do you pay for that? So I said, “Look, just put them all on the table, and let’s have the discussion, and let people see what it is. But know what it is that you’re talking about.” All I want is the goal of every American having access to health care. You don’t get there by dismantling the Affordable Care Act.”
That sounds a bit more like Howard Schultz than Senator Bernie Sanders.
This might be viewed as good news for those in the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, where several seats were picked up by candidates who ran as moderates in 2018 battle ground states.
But as the video which Pelosi and some of her leftist leaning colleagues reflects below, she’s trying to walk a tightrope. No doubt, the pragmatic side of Pelosi wants the energy that the leftist ‘democratic socialist’ wing of her party brings, especially with younger voters. So she’s trying to show both solidarity and reality at the same time.
Good luck with that juggling act, Nancy?
Then, there’s former Obama Administration White House Chief of Staff and Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel. In a Sunday op-ed to the Atlantic the mayor said, “Democrats can’t bank on voters being more dismayed by him [POTUS Trump] than they are enamored of us.”
“The last thing we should do is serve him slow pitches over the plate that allow him to define us on his terms,” Emanuel wrote. “Unfortunately, that’s exactly what Democrats have been doing since he went before Congress in early February. It’s almost as if we’ve been duped into reading from his [POTUS Trump’s] ready-made script.”
“Earth to Democrats: Republicans are telling you something when they gleefully schedule votes on proposals like the Green New Deal, Medicare for all, and a 70 percent marginal tax rate,” the 2nd term Chicago mayor and Democratic strategist said.
That’s a thinly veiled slam at the far left of his party.
What does this mean to investors? At least there is a debate among Democrats, it isn’t all left-wing socialist plans and talk. Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA-D), when asked if she is a socialist, said she is for markets. That may come as a surprise to some, but it is actually a theme of hers for some time.

Closing thought for this evening, the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report is now set to be released to specific officials within days. Expect much of it to be made public. The ramp up of Democratic investigations, say D.C. sources, are clues that the report won’t have the bombshell of “Russia collusion” that Democrats have hoped for from over 2 years of FBI and then the special counsel’s investigations. No charges brought to date have had anything to do with alleged collusion with Russia. That, it seems, was a massive case of fake news.
