Question.

[sheshe2]

Tlaib is an elected Rep from a district in Michigan. Omar, Minnesota. Why are they in Iowa stumping for Sanders? And they are insulting Hillary, who last I checked is not running for office. Are their districts that they were elected to represent 100% Sanders supporters? Do their districts vilify Hillary as they do? I am a little confused here, should they not be representing all their constituents interests, or only their own.

Point of fact, why are they not in Washington doing their job. We are in a Constitutional crisis and we need all hands on deck.

They were hired for a job, one job and that is their constituents best interest.

1. Omar is my rep.

I supported her and stuck up for her. But now I am looking seriously at her primary challenger, John Mason - not just because of this, but also because she doesn't seem to understand what her job really is.

[sheshe2]

5. Thank you for that, TVO.

Appreciate your explanation as she is one of yours.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. It doesn't bother me that she's in Iowa campaigning for Bernie.

That's what endorsers do. It's her opinion and she's entitled to it. It does bother me that she has stirred up controversies totally unnecessarily, which makes her a less effective representative.

2. Iowa is full of Minnesotans this weekend

all working for the candidates of their choice. It happens every caucus year.

I did get calls from the Warren people about going with them this weekend, but I couldn't make it.

3. I suppose the politicians for Biden and Warren should go back to Washington too

Nobody should be there stumping for anyone......

[sheshe2]

8. Well I know my congress critter is not there stumping for Warren.

Sadly he is running against Senator Markey MA. Not sure who in Biden's district or congress critters outside his district are there, however they never made the nightly news on CNN/MSNBC for divisive attacks against Hillary.

I asked a polite honest question.

4. Does the same question apply to people stumping for other candidates?

Like when Tim Ryan campaigns for Biden, is that bad too?

Or is this another one of those "Bernie rules" that doesn't apply do anyone else.

[sheshe2]

10. Has Tim been on the campaign trail trashing Democrats? nt

15. Good question

18. Thank you, mcar. nt

Unable To Make Her Case In Person, Warren Leans On Ayanna Pressley In Iowa

Telling Iowans to “dream big and fight hard,” U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley is campaigning for presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren in Iowa, three days before the state holds its presidential caucuses.

[sheshe2]

17. Did Ayanna get on stage and trash Democrats?

Telling Iowans to “dream big and fight hard,” U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley is campaigning for presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren in Iowa, three days before the state holds its presidential caucuses.

Did she lead a chant booing Hillary, or any Democrat for that matter.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. Oh I thought this thread was about Reps. not staying home in their district.

20. Skimmed the headline and did not read.

Tlaib is an elected Rep from a district in Michigan. Omar, Minnesota. Why are they in Iowa stumping for Sanders? And they are insulting Hillary, who last I checked is not running for office. Are their districts that they were elected to represent 100% Sanders supporters? Do their districts vilify Hillary as they do? I am a little confused here, should they not be representing all their constituents interests, or only their own.

You can put your goal posts back in place.

7. Do you ask this about every representative that goes to a rally outside their district?

Are you checking to make sure that every representative that backs Biden has 100% Biden support in their district? Are you angry when representatives endorse Biden because that isn't their job? When you say "all hands on deck" do you mean that Clinton probably shouldn't be stirring up shit or is she exempt?

Asking for a friend.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. That's what a lot of them do. I don't think it is or should be an issue.

I do have other concerns, but this isn't one of them.

[sheshe2]

11. They all aren't out there trashing Democrats. nt

[Cuthbert Allgood]

12. So the only question that matters from your OP is:

Do their districts vilify Hillary as they do?

And even that maybe isn't on point.

Are you mad at Hillary for making negative comments about someone running in the Democratic primaries or is this just about Clinton?

[sheshe2]

13. Frankly I hate to see the villification of Dems from the campaign trail.

[NYMinute]

14. They don't think they were elected to serve their constituents

They think they were elected so they can be obstreperous, sensational and become celebrities on social media by making outrageous statements.They are obviously intelligent albeit inexperienced. If they matured, they have the potential to do a lot of good in the long run.

It worked for the Kardashians ... and it is sort of working for the squad. The controversies they create get a lot of undeserved media attention. I bet they are the laughing stock of seasoned house members in private.

22. This

21. Ayanna Pressley was there but she wasn't booing Hillary..

Link to tweet

[sheshe2]

23. She was doing her job.

Supporting our candidate and at the same time supporting all Democrats.

She wasn't the one splashed all over CNN booing Hillary while LHAO. Nor was she pictured with MM laughing, that too splashed all over the news. Not a good look.
