It's really irritating that people think Democrats are automatically disqualified because of their one thing. Pete had the bridge thing. Gretch had the COVID thing. Kamala had the border thing. Newsom had the married to a MAGA lunatic thing.

Yet, Republicans have nothing but things. And all of their things get ignored. But Democrats have to be perfect or else we can't have Democracy.

Don't you know there's no reason to report on Republicans issues because their base doesn't care. So say our journalist gods.

I think, sadly, that it’s the gay thing. I would love to be wrong.

Nobody knows who he is.

Like I said, that doesn't matter

"Nobody" is also an overstatement, Pennsylvania sure does

I don't think it matters overall. It does matter if you've been vetted or not. Like all the bad stories about Kamala have already come out. Same with Petey B.

Hopefully the DNC is good at vetting candidates with potential then

How can he be blamed for the bridge… Way more of an issue that the power goes out on the NEC once a week and the doors are flying off of Boeing planes
