I'm so tired of the media talking about in-fighting with the candidates


Every time I listen to the media they say that they are making a mistake. They should all be fighting a common enemy, Trump. All this fighting with each other is tearing the party apart. .... ETC.

Give me a break. These candidates are fighting for the nomination. Are they all supposed to say we hate Trump vote for me? Or drop out and let one of them just go against Trump?

No, they are out there trying to show differences between each other. Explain why they are best to beat Trump and lead the country. That some times means taking shots at their opponents or calling out their weaknesses.

There is plenty time once this is over to come together. To go after Trump.

I'm a Pete guy. I do not blame Biden for criticizing Pete about not having enough experience or saying we can not nominate a socialist democrat. Biden should do that. He should fight. Just as the others should call out each other if need be. There is nothing wrong with that. This is politics. It should not be easy to just become President.

Look at the Republicans when Trump won the nomination. Look how ugly that got. Now obviously we do not want that kind of stuff in our party. But there is nothing wrong with Bernie talking about Biden voting for the Iraq war. Or Amy saying Pete lost his statewide election.

I will say so far Bloomberg has not going after any of the candidates that I know of. And that is ok also.

But nobody is making any mistake here. We will come together.






STEPHANOPOULOS: "You’ve been saying the party has to unify to defeat Trump. Does that mean if Bernie Sanders does win the nomination, you’ll endorse him and campaign for him?"

BIDEN: "Yes, whomever wins the nomination, I’m going to endorse."
