Tonight 4 of our 5 candidates spoke at the Wing Ding Dinner in Iowa

[FSogol]

All did well, all were well received, but as Lincoln Chafee started speaking (following HRC, Sanders, and O'Malley), I got proud.

Each and every one of our candidates is a decent honest person. Each one would make a good President and would work to improve our Country.

Contrast that with the miserable screw-ups on the GOP side. Buffoons, assholes, grifters, holy rollers, and frauds, to the very last. Three of them, including their front runner, have never been elected or served in any position. Whether they are creating traffic on our roads or gridlock in our nation they shouldn't have a spot in our government.

Rest easy DU, we've got this.

1. We can never 'rest easy'...they don't....

The enemies of our country and our democracy never rests easy - and of course I mean republicans/conservatives and the oligarchy.

[FSogol]

2. Whooosssshh

[TheProgressive]

4. What does 'Whooosssshh' mean?

[FSogol]

5. It means something went over your head. n/t

[TheProgressive]

10. Ahhh, so naive....

Luckily, there are people who understand the situation....

[FSogol]

11. Have a nice night, Peter Bazooka.

[tazkcmo]

13. I agree with you.

I remember when Texas Democrats "rested easy" and Dumbya won the governor's office along with a Repuke majority in Austin.

We are lucky to have serious, quality and very qualified candidates but they'll only win if we get out the vote. Also, don't forget about the voting machines still in use. The margin of victory must be large enough to negate or make obvious any vote flipping that will likely occur. Couple that with the voter suppression laws many states have instituted, fewer polling stations in Democratic neighborhoods, we have a a lot of work to do.

3. You have pointed out a very good example of what we need in candidates and not the loud and

Obnoxious. This conduct proves why we don't need 26 debates to hash out the same points over and over, Democrats get it the first time.

[FSogol]

6. Yeah, 26 debates is dopey, but it would nice to get out candidates in front of the public

on a nationwide level.

[Thinkingabout]

7. Yes it is important to have them express plans for their administrations and policies important to

The DNC platform.

[Raine1967]

8. We got this. I agree.

Thanks FSogol.

We really do have a wealth of riches.

We are lucky that we can actually get down into the weeds and discuss policy and minutia over personality and popularity when it comes to who we want to see get the nomination and in the end— we can be pretty damn fine with whoever our party collectively chooses.

Excellent post, sir.

We got this.

[a kennedy]

9. and I swear, tRump get's the nomination and somehow gets elected......I'm out of here. eom

[valerief]

12. We've got the classy. They've got the assy. nt

[FSogol]

14. +1. n/t

[lovemydog]

16. We've got the smarts.

They've got the farts.

[lovemydog]

17. Thanks a million FSogol.

I agree with you one hundred percent. I'm optimistic.

[Armstead]

18. I'll agree with you on that one

I often wonder when I see politicians how much of my emotional reaction to them is based on agreement or disagreement with their political stances and party.

In other words, could I like this guy/woman if they agreed with me?

Not one of thoe bozos -- with the possible exception of John Kasik (sp) -- could I see supporting if they were a Democratic liberal instead of a GOP conservative.

[Peacetrain]

19. Yes we do have this!!
