She was standing there in her hot pink jacket taking on Faux Snooze. Lol~ they had a mic shoved in her face and she did not back down.

Sadly I lost it to PhotoBucket.

I guess that in a country that elects Republican buffoons like Trump, we should not be surprised that a highly qualified and talented woman does not get more support.

Ooops, sorry, couldn't resist.

But this is Democratic Underground, and negativity has no place here.

If you favor one candidate over another, by all means say so, and why, but don't try to pump yours up by knocking another down.

I've been invited to do jury duty on DU several times, and any post I'm asked to look that says something negative about any dem candidate, I mark it as breaching the rules.

And never assume that a negative comment comes from another democrat, more likely to be from a troll, or someone trying to spread confusion and division.

Always on guard. I'm like King Leonidas, we need to protect what we have here on DU.

"Leonidas (c. 530-480 B.C.) was a king of the city-state of Sparta from about 490 B.C. until his death at the Battle of Thermopylae against the Persian army in 480 B.C."

I can only imagine who said that -- maybe the same Someone who was saying that Biden's face was "gray", which I didn't see -- but I did see Sanders leaning on the podium for support.

I admire Elizabeth Warren and her energy, stamina!

Nice thread, she.
