19. Do You Suppose, Ma'am, Republicans Would Not Take That Line?
Thu Mar 19, 2020, 01:15 AM
Mar 2020

My comments are in response to a Sanders campaign staffer projecting how Mr. Biden would be attacked, in her view quite successfully, by Republicans in campaigning against Trump. Why a projection, based on readily available and uncontested facts, of a likely attack line against Sanders, in a campaign against Trump and Republicans, should be regarded as an offense against every law of God and Man, is unclear to me. Show me how Sanders defends himself against the attack, pressed home in news coverage of rallies (video or otherwise) and the steady bombardment of attack ads on the airwaves, and of crafted personal communications on social media. These are things no Democrat wants to do to Sanders, out of concern for the sensibilities and loyalties of his supporters and followers. Our open enemies will have no such compunction.

"Politics ain't bean-bag."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
