The Democrats have a lot of great talent considering a run for President.

We don't need any Not-A-Democrat types hitchhiking on our party bus.

Trying to bait things just a bit there??????

9. I TOTALLY agree.

This thread is absolutely NOT in support of ANY candidate.

6. Don't need any Independents? Got it, you just want their votes.

Good luck with that. Independents outnumber Democrats and Republicans.

7. Not as the nominee

10. Ah ha . A preemptive GTFO my lawn.

11. Should I assume you support for president someone who is not a Democrat?

That's a question, not an accusation.

I'm not clear on the meaning of your posts here.

[Autumn]

12. I support anyone who is an ally. That includes Independents who align themselves

with Democrats and Independent voters who vote for Democrats. No one has announced that they are running as "not a Democratic" for president in the Democratic party.

I can't get clearer than that. You should never make an assumption about who people support since not all the candidates considering running have declared that they are running for president. Far too early for anyone to decide.

13. I didn't assume. Hence my question.

[Autumn]

15. I told you no, you should not make an assumption since you asked if you should assume.

I also said that no one has announced that they are running as "not a Democratic" for president in the Democratic party. That seems to be the point of your OP.

8. Amen.

14. Looking forward to discussing actual candidates.

There are candidates of strong interest that I am still learning about. Maybe we should be encouraging more discussion of possibilities rather than preemptive circular firing at each other?

16. And that's what this thread is doing.

And that’s what this thread is doing.This thread is encouraging us to look at the Democratic candidates and then decide which of the Democrats is the best representation of the Democratic Party it’s not intended to exclude any Democrats do you notice the word Democrat? That is the point of this thread
