Dec 2015

"First, we'll run a 100% positive campaign for Bernie, without tearing down any other candidate and we'll support the eventual nominee – no matter who it is -- to make sure we keep Donald Trump, or any other Republican, out of the White House"

i.e. DFA will be nothing whatsoever like DU.

I told Jim (yes, we have each other on speed dial) that I disagreed with their decision to offer to endorse one or the other, but he is being sensible about the result, which is encouraging.
