Just don't pretend people like Kicinich have ethics, or are driven by such. He's a fake, a con artist even. Not unlike Trump, but on the left. Yeah, they exist. Don't fool yourself into believing just because they say what you want to hear they're pure. Pay close attention with your logical mind. Vet your candidates with your logical mind, not your emotions, or your hopes and dreams.

I've learned so much in the past 13 years of my life. Many, many hard lessons, more than I care to admit. I'm not an easy con anymore like I was in my younger years. I'm well and truly woke.

I don't know that he actually changed, but that he showed his true colors. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2017 #10

He still hates that Obama could be elected President and not him. Bigoted little man with Trumpian nikibatts Jul 2017 #67

I think it's similar to the bitterness of the alt-left. Angry at "centrists" so fuck them? bettyellen Jul 2017 #31

But Kucinich was always a Democrat oberliner Jul 2017 #40

I felt like he always had a libertarian or alt thing going on? bettyellen Jul 2017 #62

I'm not sure either MurrayDelph Jul 2017 #59

In my case Clark, but I would have been honored to campaign for Dean as well. Tom Rinaldo Jul 2017 #69

"A bunch of nothing?" That's right, conspiring with a foreign power to steal a US election is okay.. Nitram Jul 2017 #15

Thing is, the FOX reporting on what happened in that meeting is incomplete and highly misleading Mr. Ected Jul 2017 #16

Who? WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2017 #17

He has his own group here at DU oberliner Jul 2017 #19

I was a big fan of Dennis from his beginnings in Cleveland Doremus Jul 2017 #24

He went over to the dark side when he went to Fox. And he basically refused to criticize DT pnwmom Jul 2017 #37

Certainly not as substantial as, say, the Government's UFO coverup, right Kooch? Warren DeMontague Jul 2017 #26

Not sure what happened to Kucinich, but it is not good. Sneederbunk Jul 2017 #27

On a lighter note: I think a "Bunch of Nothing" would be a great nickname for the Trump family FM123 Jul 2017 #28

They could star in the movie "The Sound of Putin," as the singing Von Trumps. "Dough, it's dear,..." WinkyDink Jul 2017 #41

Yes. I know that he was a darling on the left for quite some time. Caliman73 Jul 2017 #42

And John Edwards had a lot of supporters at one time, too. Warren DeMontague Jul 2017 #46

Agreed oberliner Jul 2017 #47

There are always people will take interest Caliman73 Jul 2017 #57

I admit, I voted for him in the '08 primaries. At least, I think I did. Warren DeMontague Jul 2017 #58

There might be something else going on there with Kucinich. Don't forget, JPR types don't want to stevenleser Jul 2017 #54

This may be more of a reason Kucinich says some of the things he does Kathy M Jul 2017 #60

It's unfortunate that he engages in distortions and mischaracterizations stevenleser Jul 2017 #61
