Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumQuestion.
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.

(115,576 posts)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.

(115,576 posts)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.

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

(83,633 posts)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.

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

(4,905 posts)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?

(4,905 posts)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?

(3,256 posts)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.

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.
