2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: A few emails that no one knew existed until yesterday... [View all]SticksnStones
(2,108 posts)38. Kept his word?
All the interviews he gave today seem the opposite of keeping his word which was to do everything in his power to defeat Donald Trump and see to it that Hillary Clinton is the next president. That's what I heard him pledge. Many times.
That's not at all in keeping with today's action.
He was a willing participant in a republican political play. I'm sure they've been making popcorn all day.
So DWS resigns, the excitement of the Kaine selection gets diluted. The democratic convention begins with a negative story and Senator Sanders gets to badmouth the DNC while proclaiming "see, I was right"
How was any of that keeping his word?
There's a time and a place for cleaning house.

I'm just saying that while we are defeating Fascism I plan on watching my back as well.

At this point, leave it to the historians. Whatever was done is not going to be undone.
