Either this type of plan or improve Obamacare is the best way to go at this time IMHO.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

but the people this is intended to reach will have an opposite point of view. this is a good ad for a candidate who is straightforward and smart.

5. Lis Smith - Campaign not going negative?

“I witnessed the 2004 primary and the dynamics there with Gephardt and Dean,” Smith said, “and I think that any presidential campaign that doesn’t understand a multiway primary and how [going negative] will affect their long-term standing is probably not going to be the campaign that will take on Donald Trump.”

Buttigieg’s decision not to go negative is a tactic. Sometimes an apparently second-tier figure can stand aside while their rivals destroy one another, and step past them, as Kerry did in 2004.
