(7,939 posts)Impolitic. It hurt those of us who love Joy. Hurt. Can I say that? Can I say that I am butt hurt? I don't want the potential nominee's wife sending nasty tweets to one of the strongest liberal defenders in the media. That's emotion talking.
If we cannot accept an emotional response, here's a practical response: you get elected by making your enemies your friends, not by making your friends your enemies. For whatever reason, some Hillary supporters still resent Bernie. If you want to win the next election, go on Joy's show, use her platform to be a hero for women and minorities. Attack the tax giveaway. The two of you can do some major RW bashing and unite the left.
One of you is running for president. One of you is not. Usually the politician is the one who has to be politic.
Peace.
