It is ok to disagree on policy and debate that, but not the way it was done the last time or since then. I do not approve of screaming at each other, we should be screaming at Trump and showing how we are different.

Smile and say, "I refuse to answer on the grounds that an answer might be perceived as attacking someone who disagrees with my plan or view."?

Last night was close to a debate. The first one was a yelling match trying to vilify their democratic colleagues. We need to stay focused or we lose. The sooner this field is thinned down the better for our party. If we were down to 5 or 6 it is manageable. Nobody who has 2 percent right now has a chance that is the reality.

Now that he knows, he is ready to go! Some candidates can't stand on their own merits, so they resort to attacks on the Democratic front runner. Good luck with THAT!

And Warren is ahead of her. That schtick didn't work. No one wants to hear the negativity especially from 40 years ago.
