Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
In reply to the discussion: Does the Party discourage primaries and, if so, how realistic is populist reform? [View all]marym625
(17,997 posts)26. I think, if he doesn't run, a grassroots campaign to write him in
Would be great. He obviously wants to run. It is money and the "how dare anyone try to take this from HC, the only candidate that can win and that's the only thing that matters" fury is what is stopping him. He's obviously up for the fight. He just can't see the backing with the automatic shut down of discussion going on. Never saw anything like it in my life. Obviously, let the best person win means nothing anymore.
