(115,204 posts)Bernie Sander's support, aside. I'm not opposed to Kiros, but I do NOT like her bombastic political ad playing on tv. Maybe it is just how it hits me, but I get a negatively visceral reaction to it.
But, Kiros is leading in the polls, so...

(20,773 posts)I think he's riding high on the adoring crowds of young people. That's been his schtick for a long time.

(60,828 posts)NOTHING justifies that. Nothing.
My daughter happened to be visiting some Israeli friends there that day. Only because she couldnt find a baby sitter for her two little girls did she not go to the event.
Like an old friend of mine used to say, nuff said.

(2,067 posts)that DeGette takes in mega - contributions from unpopular pacs like AIPAC. I live in Joe Neguses district but Ive given money to Kiros because I think District 1 needs new, aggressive, progressive representation. People say that Kiros, as a newbie, wont have the political power that DeGette has, but Joe Neguse has risen quickly in the Democratic Party in Congress, and I think Kiros can too.

(29,418 posts)the real winner is Gabe Evans, the big stupid trumper in the 8th,
Kiros does not and that's good, but I need to see more from my rep..
all that said, I do not like AIPAC or their dirty money..

There has never been a people whose land was violently taken from them who did not resist with violence in kind.

(20,773 posts)They say a few progressive things and run against older Democratic centrists and do well.
In the end, they will do as much damage to the Democratic Party as embracing the crazies on the right is starting to do to the Republican party.
