100. Chill. He is doing what he has to do to win his district.

My guess if he wins the uncounted votes big and win, or he wins in November, his vote likely won't stop Nancy from being party leader. The important thing is that we get a Dem to vote with us most of the time instead of against us 100% of the time.

So "our" Dem O'CONNOR's first utterance is to *trash* PELOSI [View all] UTUSN Aug 2018 OP

🛑 Freethinker65 Aug 2018 #1

Good grief. honest.abe Aug 2018 #2

Yeah, I thought he was smarter than that. He's gonna need the party to back him in Nov. brush Aug 2018 #39

The Dems he needs to win in KS-03 aren't generally Pelosi fans. SunSeeker Aug 2018 #55

He isn't in KS-3. xmas74 Aug 2018 #58

Yes, he's OH-12. I guess I have Sharice on my mind. So excited by her victory! SunSeeker Aug 2018 #102

Still, don't get baited by gotcha quesitions. There's a better way to phrase an answer to that. brush Aug 2018 #61

He did come within less than a point of winning in a very red district. SunSeeker Aug 2018 #69

I give him credit and I backed him. No need to fall bait to gotcha questions. brush Aug 2018 #74

What you call "falling bait" he would probably say was being nonevasive and appealing to his voters. SunSeeker Aug 2018 #85

You see it one way, I see it another. I'm not in favor of Dems going after Dems... brush Aug 2018 #90

Right. Which is why are you going after this Dem. SunSeeker Aug 2018 #94

I supported him. I don't support him going after Pelosi. Clear? brush Aug 2018 #97

I don't support him going after Pelosi either. Good thing he didn't. Clear? nt SunSeeker Aug 2018 #101

Oh, now you're saying he didn't respond to the reporter's question... brush Aug 2018 #105

No, I just don't agree with your spin of his response. SunSeeker Aug 2018 #109

My "spin", as you call it, is don't fall into traps to dis other Dems. brush Aug 2018 #112

Then you should be done dissing O'Connor. nt SunSeeker Aug 2018 #123

It is for me. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #110

She actually said earlier this year that she is fine with Dem candidates saying what tblue37 Aug 2018 #121

Exactly. nt SunSeeker Aug 2018 #122

you know this how? mikeysnot Aug 2018 #31

Maybe you should look up how impeachment is done. You need numbers. We didn't have them. Squinch Aug 2018 #33

Saying he wants new leadership is not an "attack." SunSeeker Aug 2018 #8

O.K., am changing "attack" to "trash" - better?!1 UTUSN Aug 2018 #14

No. He didn't trash either. Change it to "calls for new Democratic House leadership." SunSeeker Aug 2018 #19

If you want to be accurate you would credit my having said I'm for generational turnover. UTUSN Aug 2018 #23

Nothing you bolded amounts to "trashing" or "stomping." nt SunSeeker Aug 2018 #54

I can hear "Trump's voice" (thanks to other poster for the phrase) saying all the bolded words UTUSN Aug 2018 #60

I backed him but if he wants to change leadership, fu_king win first. brush Aug 2018 #53

Interesting that the people who insist we "need new leadership" never tell us exactly what they are EffieBlack Aug 2018 #64

IMO some of them unconsciously absorb repug talking points and unfortunately... brush Aug 2018 #67
