1. Past is prologue!

Keep the focus on present!

[OKNancy]

2. I'm one of those people who don't care how Democrats get their money.

I trust all of them to do the right thing, and I think we need all the money we can get to fight the evil Trump.

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. Of course at this point it doesnt matter, unless one wants to DIVIDE the party and ASSURE

continued traitor fascist in the WH, then one might want to create this talking point.

Thank you for stating what SHOULD be the obvious!

3. If she was still holding them...

There is no doubt in my mind that she would be getting my vote in the primary.

4. How about now? The past is what it is...

...and this is why I’m having a hard time without Biden. I know where he was...but his present positions are lacking at the moment. His website, which I really expected to be more complete, just doesn’t have a lot of info on it.

6. Biden's (or anyone else's) fundraisers should never be an issue

Winning takes money and we want to win don't we?

[BannonsLiver]

7. Doesn't bother me either way.

All I care about is winning.

8. Hit job.

Warren held fundraisers in every campaign before this one. That is no secret.

The criticism she made of Biden’s first fundraiser were the hosts: Comcast executive David Cohen and health insurance executive Daniel Hilferty.

9. "Once held" is the operative term; now about policy

Warren has held and continues to promote conrete policy proposals to help turn this country around. How about Mayor Pete? Still don't see any specifics on policy on his web site. And no, linking to videos of him giving generalized views on issues is not the same as specific, detailed policy preoposals.

10. Warren took a bold step in renouncing big donors in this election.

The fact that she held fundraisers in previous elections does not make that step any less bold; quite the contrary. If you are for reducing the influence of money in politics, you should be commending her instead of promoting hit pieces like this one.

If Warren ends up being our nominee, these kinds of attacks will hurt her, as they did Hillary in 2016. Please don't get blinded by excitement for your candidate into attacking other Democratic candidates.

11. One thing I took away from a line in the movie Valdez Is Coming

is that there's always a before and after: before I knew better and after I knew better.
