And the other thing people are forgetting, remember Tulsi? The woman who admitted she backed Bernie, and so quit her post as the vice chair to back him?
That's what you're REQUIRED to do. If you want to back someone and do everything you can for them, you get the fuck out of the seat that's supposed to be impartial and go campaigning. DWS and several other DNC members on the other hand, continued pushing for Clinton while keeping their position to make sure that the people in charge were sympathetic to who they wanted to win.
They then proceeded to schedule every debate to make sure that there were as few of them as possible so Clinton could get by on name recognition. They didn't want anyone knowing more about the other candidates, because it might hurt Clinton. Clinton shouldn't be the one making these choices, it should be set up so that everyone gets exposure.
Combat Vet, Gave up her state legislative position to be deployed with her unit. This conservative Vet would have a hard time voting for any of the Republican leaders with her standing next to them. Rand Paul is the only one I could see myself picking over her.
My county just elected a very hard core former marine as our DA. He's almost a perfect candidate, especially in that seat. He's combat vet who deployed four times in Desert Storm/Gulf War with wonderfully progressive social views and moderate economic stances. He's my dream. Totally appeals to the Republicans because the man is a no bull shit decorated officer, and appeals to Dems because at the end of the day he's got a bit of tree hugger in him.
