In reply to the discussion: Weiner Should Drop Out, NYC Likely Dem Voters Tell Quinnipiac University Pol [View all]ancianita
(43,294 posts)33. I preferred him to BE THERE to fight ten blue dogs when he was there. As mayor he can
develop the progressive mindset of his state -- it's unsteady -- and more importantly, the country.
If you know more than I about his opponents, I welcome your schooling. I say, and I've shown, that his record of governance is better than theirs. Can you prove me wrong?
You've got no case against him except "aaahhhh the diiiick!" And that's supposed to throw his years of good voting and governance away. Pfffft

He should not quit, no one likes a quitter. He may not make mayor but he should continue to try.
