(561 posts)Now, what is he? Back to being an independent ? Well okay, trouble is, all four candidates that Bernie backed lost their special elections, so obviously voters weren't buying what he was selling, either. Bernie was so angry at Debbie Wasserman Schultz, yet when the candidate running against her, Tim Canova, who had backed Bernie, asked him to come to Florida to back him, Bernie didn't show up.
Right now, I am disappointed, not just about elections we have lost, but the way members of our own party or former member of our party, are acting. I use to like Bernie, Biden, Rice and Ryan, but their rhetoric of late, is anything but helpful. The knives are out for Pelosi too, but not a word about Tom Perez.
Look, we can learn from elections we have lost, it's happened before, and we got through it without ripping the whole party apart. It's fine to disagree about what we should do next, but why do it in public? Reagan always use to caution republicans not to speak ill of other republicans. We are doing the exact opposite. Trump is loving this, that's what makes me even angrier. Trump on Pelosi: 'I certainly hope' Democrats don't force her out" You know damn well, that's exactly what he wants.
There's an old saying : " Never spit up in the air, because eventually it will land in your own face"
