You'll never hear Barney Frank calling the Democratic party "feeble" or "ideologically bankrupt". Barney Frank won't be accusing the Democratic party of being "corrupt" and he won't be calling Democrats "the party of the elite" and "the party of the one-percent". Barney Frank does not hate the Democratic party and he does not proclaim the party to be "an absolute failure."

Frank doesn't accuse Democrats of being "do-nothings", and he doesn't accuse Democrats of "focusing 'too-much' on Diversity". And something else about Barney Frank's character: he doesn't defend or make excuses for racists... he knows that if someone refuses to vote for a candidate because of his/her skin color... then that voter is indeed a racist.

Thank GOD for Barney Frank, DEMOCRAT!

We need more LOYAL DEMOCRATS just like him!

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