(56,829 posts)I think they're running a scam - Kellyanne Conway is in there for the paycheck and George is criticizing him from the outside so they can eventually claim to be for or against Trump in the future, depending on if we can ever get Trump out of office.

Guess we will see.

(42,770 posts)Having to hold back a bit in his hatred for trump. I could see him trying to act more dignified. But unless he is the best actor in the world, he appears very sincere to me.

(58,785 posts)and the anti-Democrat lefties are once again pushing the toxic "creepy Joe" theme. The goal, of course, is to reelect Trump and get control of the house and lost state governments back. And some very...regrettable infighters are joining them.
Those last should be careful. They may get what they're fighting for.

(42,770 posts)are they, precisely? I am committed to Biden because I think he's the perfect antidote to trump, but I do wish he wouldn't be talking about things like hairy legs.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)pretty much a corporatist tool like the rest of the Democrats because he's always been a reliable +1 to his colleagues' legislation. That's the left we don't discuss here, the left who aren't Democrats even temporarily, the ones who don't feel Sanders' badmouthing Democrats before voting with and then resuming the badmouthing after means quite what his supporters here think it does.
They also include the quarter of Sanders' voters who decamped, as they'd promised, after he lost. Remember the "Dexit" movement? A quarter to Trump or third parties in 2016, with 2% who refused to vote at all. 12% of Sanders' voters went directly to Trump, Laura.
Reporters who've interviewed the decampers from before who support Sanders once again say they're promising to do it in 2020, just waiting for Sanders to lose so they can act out for whatever press covers them and claim the. corrupt. Democrats. left. them. no. choice.
Of course, those last are also hoping to make a big nasty scene against our nominee at the Democratic convention, but they already know at best their scene would be much smaller. Any candidate who doesn't get 15% in the state primaries gets to see "his" delegates go to whoever does.
But in the meantime,...
