No Mr/Ms TV Pundit. Our Dem POTUS Candidates are Not "Fighting Each Other."

They are debating.

And this is actually expected by all of us Dems.

Now, I'd be the first to say this is really difficult for you to understand. Because the Repubs never, ever, disagree. Unless you are talking about Repubs disagreeing with Trump before he was nominated by a very enthusiastic GOP. Like Lindsey, Chris, Rick, Ben and a bunch of other not-so-polite Repub candidates for POTUS before Trump's coronation as the GOP candidate in 2016. The same Repug candidates who were either appointed by Trump for something, or is a shrill supporter now?

So. Why are you peeps so presumptuous to proclaim we better support your own personal favorites in 2020? Or we Lose? Really?

If you need a clear example of a party that is "fighting each other," you just may want to wonder why Will Hurd just jumped away from the party as quick as he could.

Please remember; wonder is the root of all true journalism.

Hope our candidates start fighting drumpf policies, actions and decisions instead of each other. Bitchin' about Obama will absolutely not win elections. Get with it or get out.

And feed into the false narrative that we cannot join together and be strong in the General.

Whining helps Trump!

They are covering the election like a sporting event or reality TV series. Play up the drama and inflame passions on both sides.

Chris Matthews, for example, on MSNBC went completely loco in his post debate interviews of our stellar candidates. Everyone of the Dems are a quantum level above Trump regarding their intelligence, integrity, experience, qualifications, articulateness, empathy, courage, coherence and just plain common sense.
