Why insult voters in your own party by insinuating they're too stupid to know a qualified candidate. But heaven forbid anyone say something mean about Trump voters.

I like the way you think

You're so right.. BS gives trump voters a pass..

Sanders defends Trump voters: I don't think they're racists, sexists or homophobes

About Trump voters, "We don't win people over by calling them dumb and stupid," we shouldn't call them names or vilify them for voting against their own interests.

But it's perfectly normal to do so to Democratic voters! That's different.

But, oh well, if they don't "want to win us over".. that's their problem.

Harris has the energy and the spark we need. She's brilliant. She has the right personality and demeanor to get people motivated. She's optimistic and determined, never rude or sour. She listens and doesn't interrupt. She's respectful and doesn't bully people by getting in-their-face, or finger-wagging, or invading their personal space. I like that she isn't the type of candidate that simply has a laundry list of everything that's WRONG and a flip-side list of what we "oughta-do" (but without any real-world way of actually doing it.) She's realistic and understands the value of compromise. She would not be the kind of candidate who boasts of getting NOTHING done in the name of "not compromising".

She's building a great team. I look forward to watching her success.

primary today, I would vote for:

Marc is one of the top election law attorneys in the county.



Marc was in charge of the Clinton Victory Counsel program which was the best organized legal team (I have worked on Kerry/Edwards, Obama and Clinton's volunteer lawyer teams)
