69. Who says Kucinich is wrong?

Thu May 18, 2017, 03:01 PM

May 2017

Trump is obviously the creepiest guy imaginable. But someone is leaking damaging info. Who leaked the story that he gave Ruskies big secrets? Probably the CIA which was super pissed off about it. The CIA is on our side this time. But maybe we should worry about the CIA bringing down a President. Or the FBI bringing down a President. So I am happy to cut Kucinich some slack on this.

What in fuck's name happened to Dennis Kucinich? [View all] Blue_Tires May 2017 OP

I always thought he was a clown. DemocratSinceBirth May 2017 #1

Ditto to that. He always struck me as being too FRINGE for anyone to take seriously. NurseJackie May 2017 #76

He sold out. GaYellowDawg May 2017 #2

He crawled up Trump's ass and got stuck dalton99a May 2017 #3

Perhaps that explains the slight falling out between Trump and Rootin' Tootin' Putin. TheBlackAdder May 2017 #118

He was always a clown who gave liberals a bad name. nycbos May 2017 #4

He gets paid to read the script just like everyone else. underpants May 2017 #5

He is who I thought he was. nt LexVegas May 2017 #6

Same as it ever was oberliner May 2017 #7

Not true. This is the opposite of where he was in 2004. Ken Burch May 2017 #29

No it's not oberliner May 2017 #31

In 2004, he was right to say the party was too timid and centrist. Ken Burch May 2017 #36

So what do you think has happened to him? oberliner May 2017 #47

Defeat, frustration, bitterness at some level, perhaps. Ken Burch May 2017 #50

I didn't say anything about him running for president oberliner May 2017 #52

I'm truly not sure how he got here(my impression was that he backed HRC in the primaries in '16). Ken Burch May 2017 #90

TinyURLed link, but... moriah May 2017 #127

To make it clear, I don't condone anything he's doing now. Ken Burch May 2017 #133

NO. Kucinich illustrates the narrow gap between far left and far right. Hortensis May 2017 #99

pay check from Fox grantcart May 2017 #67

He was actually inconsequential karynnj May 2017 #61

The convention should never just be about the candidate as a person. Ken Burch May 2017 #95

I think you missed many things Kerry actually said karynnj May 2017 #112

The problem in 1968 was the brutal suppression of protest, not the protests themselves. Ken Burch May 2017 #113

He did not treat the a the antiwar people as lepers karynnj May 2017 #115

There was no good reason to ban antiwar signs at the convention. Ken Burch May 2017 #120

The country was turning against having entered the war, however when presented with what to do karynnj May 2017 #121

I agree with you on Bush's 2003 popularity and the role of the economy and of the running mate Ken Burch May 2017 #123

oberliber is right -- he was always a wingnut obamanut2012 May 2017 #54

oberliner, not oberliber. Ken Burch May 2017 #94

Poor Dennis. Couldn't win any primaries. MineralMan May 2017 #8

He wasn't wrong to run in 2004. Ken Burch May 2017 #30

Anyone can run who meets the constitutional qualifications. MineralMan May 2017 #56

He's always been a bit loony Renew Deal May 2017 #9

There is still a Dennis Kucinich Group here on DU: MineralMan May 2017 #10

Hell, even I used to like him back in '04 Blue_Tires May 2017 #26

Of course it's not active. The man isn't part of active politics anymore. Ken Burch May 2017 #37

And yet, it is still here, isn't it? MineralMan May 2017 #55

It's only here because nobody thought to close it. Ken Burch May 2017 #96

Why did you even bring Hillary into this? It's amazing how she is pulled into threads lunamagica May 2017 #59

She wasn't "pulled in" as such. The reference was to the DU discussion group, not the person. Gore1FL May 2017 #80

I brought her group into it, not her. Ken Burch May 2017 #98

I did TexasTowelie May 2017 #86

I saw that post. Back in 2016, I believe. MineralMan May 2017 #87

He is very pro-privacy and hates the patriot act and believes in deep state. Demsrule86 May 2017 #11

And he's evidently on the Kremlin payroll... Blue_Tires May 2017 #25

I am sure of it...all the disgruntled pols end up on the Russian gravy train. Demsrule86 May 2017 #125

He's returned to his roots. DonViejo May 2017 #12

Damn you and your pesky facts. nycbos May 2017 #16

That's the primary reason I've never been a supporter; I well remember DonViejo May 2017 #20

I remember when if you said anything bad about him... nycbos May 2017 #23

I've only commented on him once, here on DU, saying what I've written in our DonViejo May 2017 #24

He stopped the munipal electric utility from being privatized Ken Burch May 2017 #39

That doesn't excuse his racism or the Trump-like confrontational politics he brought to DonViejo May 2017 #43

He had moved past all that by the time he entered Congress Ken Burch May 2017 #48

If he "moved past all that," why's he on Fox or, better still, defending Trump? DonViejo May 2017 #57

Guess he stopped trying to dupe Democrats... Bradical79 May 2017 #68

He wasn't duping anybody in 2004 or 2008 Ken Burch May 2017 #105

I don't know why he's on Fox, and I don't defend that. Ken Burch May 2017 #101

I never liked him...I never trusted him... DemocratSinceBirth May 2017 #27

You mean his racist roots. nikibatts May 2017 #21

Frankly, I see no difference from when he was stabbing Democrats in the back while running for pres. Foamfollower May 2017 #15

It's called the Horseshoe Theory eissa May 2017 #17

I totally agree with this. I always said they were two sides of the same coin, lunamagica May 2017 #64

the problem with this shit is that it is non-specific. Who is far left? What criteria are you using JCanete May 2017 #92

Cleveland.com had an article in Feb 2017 about his running for Ohio gov in 2018. irisblue May 2017 #18

Like I have said for years he is part of the far left that joins the far-right snooper2 May 2017 #19

For Joiners without a real cause to rally for or win with what else can they do? nolabels May 2017 #128

He was always crazy. I never understood why Liberals liked him. Oneironaut May 2017 #22

Most people have a price... BigMin28 May 2017 #28

I'm saddened to see this. Something bad has happened to him. Ken Burch May 2017 #32

He said in Nov 2007 that Ron Paul was his choice of a running mate. pnwmom May 2017 #41

It means he's a nut Bradical79 May 2017 #72

A whole stadium of folks saw a UFO Duppers May 2017 #89

We're in agreement Bradical79 May 2017 #97
