the goddamned circular fucking firing squad. . . THIS is how we lose elections, and I'm old enough to know, because I've seen it.
With an opponent like Pussy-Grabber, I am WAY more interested in hearing how they are going to beat him and reverse his shit.
And even if a candidate I don't particularly like ends up with nomination, that person will be like God himself as far as I'm concerned, because nobody will hear a word of criticism from me.
We NEVER hear the repigs criticizing their candidates. . . Anything we have to say about one another as Dems will be repeated by these fucking assholes all the way till November. . .

For instance, Dems are NEVER as cohesive as repigs are. . . Think about how a repig congress moves in lockstep with Pussy-Grabber. . . I am digressing from talking about candidates to talking about repig cohesiveness, but it's really the same thing.
Had Dems been this cohesive, we could have done ENORMOUS things when Obama was Prez and we had both chambers. . . .

(6,377 posts)I think this is the first time we have ever seen this stuff. Trump came out and forbid anyone to run against him. That was astonishing enough, but it's their party. So, he's out campaigning all during the time the Dems are trying to get their candidate together. He's studying them and implementing strategy.
I haven't picked a candidate yet. I seem to be switching back and forth. I wish we could have all of them, or at least two. We could do two.
Some of the most interesting candidates dropped out.
The only thing for sure: whoever gets picked should be backed to the hilt by all Dems and others who vote a Democratic ticket. We cannot afford to lose this election. The person picked needs to be tough.

(4,149 posts)But I was also around to see them kissing his ass and doing all sorts of other things I can't describe here without getting my post removed. . . . We don't have that kind of cohesiveness.
