Nicole Sandler interviews Rep. Alan Grayson on Hillary endorsement 11/24/15

This is a painful interview he gave. I really wish he hadn't done it. But, I guess you gotta do what what you gotta do to win in Floriduh.

before Grayson managed to out-do him for that distinction.

Interesting how this flies directly in the face of the Clintonista canard that "Bernie hasn't
accomplished anything in Congress".

I like Grayson alot. I even named one of my birds after him. Of course, I won't be changing the bird's name now. And I'll be holding out hope that Alan finds his progressive compass after November of 2016.

5. What a disappointment

I too have followed Congressman Grayson for a long time and am deeply disappointed in him.

Not so much for HRC endorsement itself, although I am shocked and surprised.

And what a ringing "endorsement" it was. After Nicole Sandler stated several times that his campaign Office verified that he had endorsed HRC, he:
a) blamed the story on a right wing nut job Blogger
b) stated that he had merely joined HRC's Florida Democratic Leadership Council
c) and finally (after much prodding) admitted "you can call it what it is"

What really disappointed me is how (at about 12 minutes) he went on at length denouncing his opponent for taking so much Wall Street Money when he (apparently) had already endorsed HRC. WTF.

By the way, I respect and admire Hillary Clinton. She's just not the person I choose to Support for the Democratic nomination.


Feel the Bern!!!
