33. Let's talk about that "will of the voters" argument, shall we?

That's a non-starter for me.

Suppose our beloved Joe, whom I really admire and respect, would have had a stroke on stage. Would we have still been bound by the "will of the voters"?

I am 100% confident that Adam Schiff wants what's best for the Democratic Party and for the future of this country. It doesn't help us to try to hurt him.

j...f...c... Goodheart Jul 16 #21

Then he needs to step right up and deny it. And no, he does not get to subvert the will of the voters. we can do it Jul 16 #25

Let's talk about that "will of the voters" argument, shall we? Goodheart Jul 16 #33

Please explain what amassing 3900 plus delegates is if not the will of the voters? we can do it Jul 16 #41

But, he hasn't. So, your point is moot relayerbob Jul 16 #42

He didn't have a stroke. He won the votes to be the candidate. Hermit-The-Prog Jul 16 #45

Has it been proven that he said it? Polybius Jul 16 #23

If not he needs to step right up and deny it. we can do it Jul 16 #27

I have seen nothing that confirms this "anonymously-sourced" story is true or involves Schiff.... hlthe2b Jul 16 #52

He can uniquivically deny saying it and that he backs Biden our nominee 100% and I will both donate and delete this. we can do it Jul 16 #61

How dare you. As one who has been here since 2001, you are beyond off base. hlthe2b Jul 16 #82

Oh dear you're not the only person who's been here that long..... normal humans deny horrible falsehoods. we can do it Jul 16 #84

He did say it- don't expect you to say you were wrong. we can do it Jul 17 #110

Not before you posted this screed. I don't agree with Schiff now that he's come out, but I don't accuse without evidence hlthe2b Jul 17 #112

Neither he nor his office would not deny it. I stand by what I said. A couple sentences is hardly a screed. we can do it Jul 17 #113
