Nor does Nancy use twitter to publicly air grievances and disagreements with members of her own party. Fortunately, Nancy WILL use it to try and embarrass Republicans, and she'll use it as leverage against the enemy. But it's not Nancy's style to try and bully anyone in her own party. That would be crass.

Nancy is a professional with experience and class. That's one of the things I really like about her.

She ROCKS!!

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

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
