Thanks, better to acknowledge what caused a loss than ignore it and repeat the same mistake. sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #135

Remember Aerows Mar 2014 #83

It makes perfect sense if you realize the objective is to crush the left. stillwaiting Mar 2014 #120

You won't be doing anything more than discouraging Democrats. JoePhilly Mar 2014 #34

no, i'm talking about just Democrats, she has the most support in the polls JI7 Mar 2014 #26

Against whom?? Who did she beat in those polls? She sure didn't beat Elizabeth Warren eg. sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #27

most Dems don't know anything about Elizabeth Warren JI7 Mar 2014 #29

I dont understand your point. Are you suggesting the left abandon the Democratic Party? rhett o rick Mar 2014 #44

i'm saying some people don't really understand politics JI7 Mar 2014 #46

The OP is all about why people shouldn't support Dems, and ProSense Mar 2014 #56

yes JI7 Mar 2014 #62

Gee, you mean like this guy, supporting a GOP Presidential candidate instead of a Democratic one? MADem Mar 2014 #134

They knew enough to choose Warren over Hillary when given the choice! n/t sabrina 1 Mar 2014 #128

They don't. I love her strong support for the US military, being a military retiree, myself. MADem Mar 2014 #136
