"what would an honest man do" like with trump and Ukraine, he did not. An honest man wouldn't hide evidence if he was innocent.

Similar with the bashing of other candidates. "What would a normal person do?". IMHO, they would primarily be touting their own candidate not constantly dissing others. It's.very distasteful, counter productive to winning in November, and very curious. It makes me think there are other nefarious forces at work here.

Anyone who is against racism, misogyny and the gap between rich and poor expanding even more than it already has in our nation.

Anyone who is against having six decades of hard work by our party trying to achieve racial, social and economic justice in our nation undermined or erased entirely by someone who oversaw twelve years of systematic civil rights abuses against POC.

In other words, Democrats.

one's own candidate's baggage packed with misogyny, racial myopia, and relative legislative inaction on economic issues. Speeches are fig leaves.

this morning on MSNBC.

https://www.msnbc.com/mtp-daily/watch/al-sharpton-2020-democrats-all-need-to-come-clean-78792261547

Specifically calling out racial Bern's baggage in that segment.

Bloomberg goes after Trump.

Berns goes after Bloomberg.

Bloomberg knows the CORRECT target to go after.

Bloomberg 2020

OR

ANY Democratic Party candidate but Berns 2020

winning back the white working class vote and who had the best chance of uniting the entire party - I really have doubts about Bloomberg's ability to do well on either of those scores.

The other candidates constantly snipe at and attack their opponents in the primaries and their numbers either reach a plateau or go down.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg ignores the other Democratic candidates and focuses on Trump, constantly attacking him. His numbers just keep going up and up.

Attacking Bloomberg isn't going to work and they have no clue what to do.

even my own choice. In one regard. No one has really launched any kind of effective campaign against trump at all. Might have been a swipe here or there but nothing that ever got to trump - more like swatting a fly away.

Heard an analyst say on the first Dem debate night. They were astounded that there was little talk of trump. They said sure 50% about yourself but 50% should be about trump any why you are better.

Never in the history of all elections has there been a bigger pile of dirt on a candidate ever.

If our candidates can't take advantage of that, shame on them. We are not in the past anymore.
