SAY IT AIN�T SO: ALAN GRAYSON ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON * [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 OP

Let 'em. Let 'em all. Fawke Em Nov 2015 #1

Thank you for your input and may the rest of your life be the best of your life. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #6

Not quite... Bubzer Nov 2015 #75

Res ipsa loquitur DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #80

Still not an endorsement. Bubzer Nov 2015 #81

If I am on a list of supporters how could I not be a supporter? DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #86

You don't know his reasons for joining the leadership council and niether do I. Bubzer Nov 2015 #91

I seem to recall hearing that Grayson said something about Sanders once. naoya6161 Nov 2015 #93

Let me explain it like this... DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #95

Agreed. Assuming you knew about it. That website isn't exactly mainstream. Bubzer Nov 2015 #106

Hope dies hard! And around here it dies hard about 20 times a day! Walk away Nov 2015 #171

There are quite a few throwing him under the bus already. Take a look at his facebook page. Bubzer Nov 2015 #172

Well,he is a Democrat and it stands to reason he would support a Democrat.... Walk away Nov 2015 #173

Now that's just plain old denial. Gman Nov 2015 #96

Except this hasn't been confirmed outside of that no-name website. Bubzer Nov 2015 #101

Well, it's real. It happened. Gman Nov 2015 #105

Says a single website. You can believe it if you want, but I have a slightly higher bar to belief. Bubzer Nov 2015 #110

Well then good luck with Sanders Gman Nov 2015 #113

Have you called or emailed his office to confirm? zappaman Nov 2015 #114

And messaged him via facebook. Hoping to find out for sure one way or another. Bubzer Nov 2015 #117

Twitter would be another outlet. n/t zappaman Nov 2015 #120

Not a bad idea. I dont do twitter, but he might have made mention of it there. Bubzer Nov 2015 #121

I looked on Twitter Mnpaul Nov 2015 #151

Actually, not just a single website. naoya6161 Nov 2015 #115

Grayson's campaign confirmed nicsand Nov 2015 #177

Noted. Thanks for the confirmation. Bubzer Nov 2015 #180

It really did happen, and here's a link to a reputable website that confirms it naoya6161 Nov 2015 #107

Eh...that's not much of a confirmation. It does lend some credence to the claim, I'll admit. Bubzer Nov 2015 #116

Grayson jumped the shark for me when he got on the Ebola panic bandwagon. I got a fundraising call Erose999 Nov 2015 #122

Of course Gayson endorsed Hillary lewebley3 Nov 2015 #28

Isn't he trying to redeem himself? notadmblnd Nov 2015 #85

Doesn't need to redeem himself : He is a progressive like Hillary lewebley3 Nov 2015 #88

Where's the ALL CAPS SWARM? Segami Nov 2015 #2

Where to next? Under the bus? NurseJackie Nov 2015 #3

Grayson has been under the bus here on DU for ages. By some of the very Autumn Nov 2015 #18

The oligarchy preceded you and I and it will succeed you and I. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #131

Yes, we should all just give up. I mean, er, what? n/t JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #149

When you topple the oligarchy please let me know. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #163

I don't actually care about toppling an oligarchy JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #165

Maybe... MoonchildCA Nov 2015 #156

Excellent philosophy! NurseJackie Nov 2015 #159

Honestly, I'll vote for Hillary, if she's the nominee... MoonchildCA Nov 2015 #161

Insert "Bernie" where you wrote "Hillary", and change "he's" where you wrote "she's" � NurseJackie Nov 2015 #166

Indeed! MoonchildCA Nov 2015 #158

He might be a member of DU Art_from_Ark Nov 2015 #178

He used to a few years ago Gman Nov 2015 #179

Something just occurred to me. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #43

Irrelevant. Gman Nov 2015 #111

Uh no. I most certainly did not hope for an endorsement from him cali Nov 2015 #58

I can understand why you'd say that ... NurseJackie Nov 2015 #62

No. You really can't. You cali Nov 2015 #66

Irrelevant. Bernie needs endorsements. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #68

Cali is no fan of Grayson, you should search her posting history. tammywammy Nov 2015 #74

I have no doubts about that. I already told her that I believed her. No searching needed. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #82

I don't need to pretend anything, dear nurse. cali Nov 2015 #77

Sounds like someone's trying to hide their disappointment. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #83

Good grief. Do try a wee bit of logic cali Nov 2015 #87

Because you'd hoped Bernie's endorsement numbers would have improved by now, NurseJackie Nov 2015 #89

I am not particularly a fan of his but I see his endorsement is upsetting all the right people. DemocratSinceBirth Nov 2015 #27
