72. The person you're defending has attacked a Dem in more than half of their posts on DU
Wed Nov 5, 2014, 04:26 PM
Nov 2014

That alone makes them a non-Dem troll. They offered support to people who are either not Dems, or have said they won't run. I don't believe for a moment that you don't understand that Dean is orders of magnitude less likely to run for office than Hillary. And they only dropped that name while attacking Hillary.

That person is a disruptive troll. You really don't need to defend them. They put themselves outside the tent by using their 7th DU post to suggest voting against the Dems.
