I’m asking to hear positive things about our candidates because I and others are undecided and speculative negative campaigning doesn’t help us decide who we are for.

Why wouldn’t DU’ers want to hear positive things about why we should choose a candidate to vote for in the primary? I vote on positives. I want someone to vote for. I don’t think i’m the only one.

Not sure why wanting that is such bad thing.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Obama was a great President, but he wasn't a fighter. He tried to build a consensus with bad actors. Midnight Writer Jul 2019 #3

Which is why I don't understand one of the rationales that Biden has put forth for his candidacy Chitown Kev Jul 2019 #4

That's a lot of baseless speculation you got going on there. emulatorloo Jul 2019 #7

Biden is a dealmaker by nature, as is Obama. marylandblue Jul 2019 #11

Yeah...dealing with the Republicans in the Illinois State Senate was easy Chitown Kev Jul 2019 #12

Warren's plan of how to deal with a Republican majority Senate is? redstateblues Jul 2019 #18

Warren never said that she had a plan for that Chitown Kev Jul 2019 #21

THIS: "Why was Biden not able to use those skills to get even a hearing for Merrick Garland?" JudyM Jul 2019 #61
