I still want Dean. Dont know his TPP position. He wants to work on all 50 states! He's aggressive. Doesn't trust repubs. Experienced. Hillary IMHO would be our prez if he had taken over for Wasserman Schultz, and Mook and Palmieri had deferred .
I think these are not the times for novices or to try new people. Not the time to raise the kids. Not the time to try people we like, even though they are weak.
We should be in Georgia fighting in that special election for a seat. Instead, like Wisconsin, NBD, not worth it.

Perez is NOT endorsed by Bernie Sanders. So there! MineralMan Feb 2017 #1

!!! I still want Dean. He wants to work on all 50 states! He's aggressive. Doesn't take stuff from R Alice11111 Feb 2017 #54
I used to not care ... until I discovered that Susan Sarandon adores Ellison. Then ... NurseJackie Feb 2017 #42
