Okayyyyy. JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #20

LOL at the idea that backing MFA somehow shows leadership. highplainsdem Dec 2019 #23

Why? JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #25

True leadership is about being able to move toward attainable goals, not describe unattainable ones. highplainsdem Dec 2019 #32

So have no goal on issues unless we predetermined them as "winners"? JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #37

Depends on whether you want to get elected, or you just want to run. beastie boy Dec 2019 #45

So are you against ideas? Then why bother? JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #50

I am a huge fan of ideas! Huge! In fact, ideas are my favorite pastime! beastie boy Dec 2019 #53

Your ideas about MFA are wrong. JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #55

So 28% or so in an early poll is leadership? JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #31

In a pool of 27 candidates, it is indeed leadership! beastie boy Dec 2019 #39

MFA was at 70% with all Americans before the insurance companies started their attacks. JoeOtterbein Dec 2019 #42

Do you have a source for this number? And please don't cite The Hill! beastie boy Dec 2019 #47
