So yes - I know what I’m talking about and don’t agree with you on his effectiveness.

Try not insulting fellow DUers without knowing them or their history and making assumptions.

Family members don’t always agree - no need to attack. I just happen to have a very different opinion and think he is a bad choice for Chairperson. You can be a smart person, a good person and å knowledgeable person with your heart in the right place - but that doesn’t always translate into being an effective manager or fundraiser or messenger. Sorry that is my opinion and I believe over time this will be so evident that even his biggest supporters won’t be able to deny it. We don’t have the luxury of waiting to find out.

Malcolm is fantastic and met him too in Philly.
