Getting goaded into making that promise by the GOP/M$M smear machine is the first mistake these folks made (that Tim Ryan, D-Weaksauce is exploiting). They allowed the narrative to be about a person rather than policy. They should never have promised that in the first place, because they look foolish now that the vote is happening and the #fivewhiteguys chicken shits are making such a mess of it.

In the future, stick to policy.
