8. When we surrender the narrative

Tue Feb 4, 2020, 09:12 AM

Feb 2020

we allow our opponents and the MSM to tell us what happened.

My version is: We had three obviously viable candidates, now we move forward.

We are lucky because we have an embarrassment of riches.

Congratulations to Mayor Pete, Bernie and Elizabeth.

And it's not over for Joe or Amy.

Onward and upward!

EDIT: I'm not suggesting we concoct conspiracy theories, just capitalize on the fact three candidates did very well.

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

This is precisely what I do not like about our primary/caucus system. Pacifist Patriot Feb 2020 #38

Its just the tradition. I like hands-on politics as an effective way to identify viable candidates. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #39
