John, Barack, Hillary... don't look away! Demand Dennis be welcomed in the debate...
It is a major sticking point with me that our "top" 3 candidates play this silence game. Hillary and Barack did it to John at the NH debates. John talked about he and Barack representing something new and Barack... he looked down. Like "don't include me in your sorry little 3rd place story". Hillary on Meet the Press was willing to talk about Barack but kept John invisible. Talked about how America was going to herald in great change if they picked either a woman or a black man, but skipped the anti-corporate southern white guy, who actually beat her in a person to person stand in my corner out in the open vote.

I am asking all three "top tier Democratic candidates" to remember that karmic whiplash is universal whether one believes or not...

So...
WELCOME all voices to EVERY debate.
We only look better and our big tent gets filled.
If there is a problem caused by this...
Solve it!
Make the format work or change it.
Work together.
Frame the narrative.
Be pro-active instead of re-active.
Get Real because false winners are a dime a dozen.
Any crook can win, in this America...
Only the GREAT can lead.

My sorry pissed off 2 cents that is friggin worth about a penny.

2. I am WAY not confident and it makes it hard to support them to other people.
It makes me doubt all my positive feelings. I am left with this HUGE question mark. How can they not be outraged by the Media manipulation? How can they think this same snake will not get them?

4. I hate to be in doubt but I am also... Are they not good people?
That is the question that keeps me up at night. Everything that I have read leads me to believe that John, Barack and Hillary are good people. Lord knows they have accomplished more than most and represent the fruit of America. Silent? I do not get it. Winning does not trump all. Strategy... yes I believe in good smart strategy. But silencing a good Congressman who is on his second legitimate run for president and one who has written the bill for impeachment... how? How do they ignore that?
