Short sighted.

Then when we realized who the Republican nominee was going to be, the message became, "Don't vote for him." And we just left a lot of people out because it didn't seem like we were talking about the lived experience of Americans.

For someone that voted for Clinton he didn't apparently listen to her speeches. She talked a lot about Americans struggling. She launched her campaign with people giving testimonials about how the ACA saved their lives or how we need to do more.

I haven't been a fan of his since he ran for DNC chair. Anyone that looks at 2016 and their first take is to criticize Clinton. Is planning on losing in 2020. If you aren't talking about foreign money and interference, Republican voter suppression tatics and cyber warfare. You aren't serious about winning the general election. Cause none of those issues are going away. In fact the one thing we won't have is Clinton running 2020. So it serves no purpose to criticize her. Other than trying to endear yourself with her detractors.

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