I think this is better suited to GD-P as well.

I don't think the poster is intentionally trying to troll or create a disturbance. I just don't think it meets the TOS of our group which is to stay positive and focus on Sander's accomplishments as his candidacy moves forward.

This is a smear piece. It is designed to provoke and distort his record demanding defensiveness especially in this Safe Haven.

As others in this thread feel the same way, I would ask the OP to voluntarily delete this OP and re-post in GD-P.

Thanks.

It's very difficult for the hosts to discuss anything because we're not given a host forum marym625 Jul 2015 #26
