Time to Go Positive - Because Trump!

You know what? Every recognizable Democratic Presidential primary candidate is on your side on almost every issue. Every House and Senate Democratic primary candidate is on your side pretty much, too. Every Democratic Governor candidate and state legislator, too.

You know who's NOT on your side? Donald J. Trump. All Republican Senators, House representatives, Governors and state legislators, as well. None of them are on your side, but all can win elections.

So, tell us why you like your favorite Democratic candidate. Tell us why he or she deserves our votes, too. Build up your favorites.

But, lay off other Democratic candidates. Attack Republicans instead. Because the Democrats are on your side. They're on OUR side. Your favorite might not win the primary. Mine might, though. If you trash Democrats, we all lose, and a Republican wins.

Go positive. Make your best case for the candidate you prefer. If you need to attack someone, attack the Republican candidate, OK? Not someone who is on our side, please.

Thanks!

I could not agree more. The only way we lose in 2020 is if we fight among ourselves.
