"Constant attacks"... guess that's why Gillibrand said he's a leader berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #31
She said in the interview there is no national leader until a president is elected. boston bean Sep 2017 #35
But if you cut out what she said before and what she said after that "leadership" quote... George II Sep 2017 #43
I did not hear "the" leader. delisen Sep 2017 #54
Neither did I, but some are now saying that she said it. George II Sep 2017 #60
Oh she said his name alright. Said it first when asked "Who's the leader of the Democratic party" berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #63
Give the exact verbatim response. Because she spoke with an emphasis on ideas. Not on the persons. boston bean Sep 2017 #65
I don't need to. I already posted on this earlier. berni_mccoy Sep 2017 #70
I just told you why i think you are wrong. Can you respond to that? It is not at odds with her boston bean Sep 2017 #72
