So now we listen to David Gergen? [View all]

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9622150

Gergen delivers an inaccurate and full on assumption and people here jump right on the bandwagon.

Gergen is a piece of shit who has helped ruin this country.

White House Director of Speechwriting - Nixon
White House Director of Communications - Ford
White House Staff Secretary - Reagan
White House Director of Communications - Reagan

And with Bill it was a symbolic position for a "bipartisan" show..I remember when it happened.
Counselor to the President - Clinton

Gergen and his ilk are part of why we are where we are but as long as he's going after Bernie apparently all that doesn't matter.
