Aside----remind me to never start another thread again...this is exhausting.
They are incredibly powerful and heavily guarded, or at least Obama is. I haven't thought out their strategy.
I really think that there strategy to protest at a political event was smart. I would protest there. It seems to be a venue for focused attention of the candidates.
My main reason for starting this thread was the reaction of forgetting what the protesters were protesting about.
Black lives.
Gone.
And the main take away was that two men who have signed up to hear all the people of this country had to listen to the people and put aside what they were thinking of talking about.
I think they both did well, I think they both will be fine, and that this isn't going to be the event that will cause them to drop out.
But the reaction I saw here and on the internet seemed to me, little ol me, to be over reaction.
You do not agree. That is okay.
It is a big tent. I keep thinking this will blow over and then those names will fall from our lips and be forgotten again.
And that is sad.
