2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: After Primaries Over, Two Words We Must Never Forget, "Supreme Court" ..... #1 [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)40. And now is the time to focus on who should get the nomination.
Because as you just pointed out, which was MY point, all Dem candidates AND their supporters already KNOW how important this issue is.
Which means it is not necessary to remind them on a regular basis about the one issue ALL agree on.
What we SHOULD be talking during Primary season is all the other issues that people are concerned about and where the candidates differ and who is most likely to appeal to enough voters, not just the Dem base which isn't enough to win the GE.
This almost daily 'reminder' is viewed as what it always was, 'vote for the candidate we have chosen for you or else' regardless of what your intentions might be.

+1000. Clarence Thomas will live on as G.W.H. Bush's legacy long after he's gone.
