Ever notice how Republicans spew hate on Dems that could beat them in an election?

So, I'm watching comments on the Joe Kennedy III rebuttal address after the SOTU next week, and the vitriol is flowing like the river Jordan. They're even dragging out Chappaquiddick which happened 11 years before he was even born.

Conversely, have you notice how much they heap praise on any Democrat that they know could never beat them? That's why they're so complimentary to Bernie.

They have no interest in negotiating w/ anyone else on anything other to tantalize and tease us. Hypocrites.

The stronger a possible candidate is, the more viciously awful the rethugs get.

nicknames. When Corey Booker did well last week they were all over him. I bet they don't nickname someone who they want to run again. If you see them attacking some democrat specifically, know that they are a great candidate.
