(19,240 posts)nowhere implying that this might be a tit for tat designed to inflame both Sanders and Beto supporters. Would not it be nicer to say something like "All the new candidates are being vetted so we should play fair and re-vet the established candidates" rather than naming a single new candidate?
The preparation of attacks on one Democrat by another -- and 'endorsements' of one Democrat by another, which has to be repudiated, are examples of what can be done.

Just say no to divide and conquer!
And just say no to Two Man Race, Beto versus Sanders. The press loves a two man race. Makes it easier for them to start preparing their Big Lies for the general and helps them divide and conquer the Democrats. The Democrats love a crowded playing field with lots of positivity.

(35,454 posts)it seems only posts about him and his history are around today. My post no way implied tit for tat and was mentioning what is actually happening on the board today. I'm feeling you're reading something in my post that simply wasn't there. And frankly, imho, you're making this the very situation you're objecting to.

She wasn't "implying" anything. Your analyzing her two sentence post isn't going so well.
