She also endorsed Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman George II Aug 2020 #76
So? Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #83
She's not applying a "no endorsing non incumbents" to anyone RhodeIslandOne Aug 2020 #124
There isn't a "no endorsing non-incumbents" rule. She's got it incorrect. George II Aug 2020 #131
No, she doesn't. W_HAMILTON Aug 2020 #80
Yes she does. Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #88
Feel free to explain how then. W_HAMILTON Aug 2020 #95
Your explanation was BS Trumpocalypse Aug 2020 #97

I'm not enamored of her but she's pretty much right qazplm135 Aug 2020 #27
Agree. SharonClark Aug 2020 #71
I love AOC and she is exactly right about this. nt Nay Aug 2020 #84
I feel the same way Proud Liberal Dem Aug 2020 #90
So you will endorse and vote for "a Kennedy" just because of the name? question everything Aug 2020 #93

Schumer will almost certainly endorse Markey though RhodeIslandOne Aug 2020 #127
I can't see a reason to not like AOC because of this, she's speaking truth, why is that a problem? BamaRefugee Aug 2020 #9
I was very surprised that Nancy did that. Autumn Aug 2020 #11
So am I... and I'm so pleased that she did. I trust Nancy. She knows what she's doing. NurseJackie Aug 2020 #15
Considering her ire at other people primarying Democrats it seems rather off. I will say you are Autumn Aug 2020 #20
And I'll bet the message is being received loud and clear. NurseJackie Aug 2020 #24
We do too much hero worship qazplm135 Aug 2020 #28
Nancy knows what she's doing. My confidence in her is far from "Hero Worship"... NurseJackie Aug 2020 #47
your approach in this thread qazplm135 Aug 2020 #57

Nancy Has A Provem Track Record Me. Aug 2020 #60
Nancy ROCKS!! She's got what it takes! She's proved it OVER AND OVER AGAIN! NurseJackie Aug 2020 #68
We also call a positive narrative "hero worship" too much as well. LanternWaste Aug 2020 #103
I'm sure some of the same people who challenged her last time will do it again. Nancy Autumn Aug 2020 #44
LOL! NurseJackie Aug 2020 #54
Isn't it interesting BannonsLiver Aug 2020 #65
Sarandon used that against Hillary... but John Edwards' IWR vote never bothered her. NurseJackie Aug 2020 #67
Gee, if I didn't know better that sounds a lot like hypocrisy. BannonsLiver Aug 2020 #69
It's not exactly a profound revelation that Sarandon is a hypocrite. nt. Mariana Aug 2020 #77
Edwards was a cosponser of the IWR . That always showed me how full JI7 Aug 2020 #79
oh of course she'll win qazplm135 Aug 2020 #59
The Speaker does not shoot from the hip empedocles Aug 2020 #16
Nor does Nancy use twitter to publicly air grievances and disagreements... NurseJackie Aug 2020 #81

Pelosi said she wouldn't endorse in House primaries. JNelson6563 Aug 2020 #66

We'll agree to disagree I guess BannonsLiver Aug 2020 #49

It's definitely not ideal, I'll give you that. And yes, I agree that we agree on most stuff. BannonsLiver Aug 2020 #62

Maybe you should write her a letter. BannonsLiver Aug 2020 #113

She's got it wrong, too. The DCCC's decision applies to HOUSE primaries, not SENATE primaries. George II Aug 2020 #132
