Showing Original Post only (View all)'Grow Up!': DNC Chair Candidate Says Democrats Focused Too Much on Trump's Insults [View all]

One of the candidates for DNC chair said at a Democratic forum in Baltimore last night that the party needs to grow up and have a strong message beyond calling President Trump offensive.
Raymond Buckley, the chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party, said at the DNC Future Forum that a lot of Americans are worried about their own economic futures and dont really give a crap about if the president is an insult dog.
And that wasnt the end of it:
We did not offer a positive message to anyone that Im related to. We did not offer a message to my neighbors
What we did is say How offensive. Grow up. Thats not reality for most of America.
