35. Shredding our leaders in ' frank' discussions is why we lose...no one is

ever good enough....so, I disagree. Have 'frank disagreements 'about Republicans because doing it to our own colors the way voters think about Democrats and causes us to lose elections. I find it particularly awful to do it on social media where millions could see it...who needs the Russians when some in our own party are will ling to do the heavy lifting by destroying our own leaders which discourages Democrats and also stops people from joining the Democratic party. President Obama saved this economy and is the only president to get health care...BFD. He has saved millions of lives. He deserves better than to have his legacy destroyed by Other Democrats. With friends like this....well you know the rest.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
