(4,341 posts)Sanders or Warren will have to learn to defuse it and turn it against republicans, which is not difficult to do, they are both doing it already by talking about "elite socialism". I am undecided, but I am not worried about any of our candidates, I am more worried about the bickering between the supporters of each candidate, I want it to stop.
IBM had a great sales rule, one which all sales people had to abide by. IBM always told its sales force they would never bad talk any of the competition, they were actually supposed to outline their good points, and then outline IBM products good points and why they exceeded the benefits of the already good points of the competition. We seem to be going at it all wrong here, we are bad talking our own candidates to try to make our candidate look better, and that is the wrong strategy, I wish it would stop.
The republican propaganda machine will take care of bad talking our candidates, the con has more baggage than all our candidates combined, same with republican senators, and that is where we need to put our effort. Lets be real, no one is going to convince anyone who has already committed to support a candidate to change by bad talking their candidate, on the contrary, you are just going to make them very upset.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
