And today, "man with dead animal on his head" completed the clown car cotillion. Bless his little ol' comic relief heart!

That is freakin' AWESOME!

I'm not tearing down any potential Democratic nominee.

Well, unless they do something totally heinous like cheat on their wife dying of cancer. Then you're on your own! I do have my exceptions to my credo.

And I hope those people who have to chime in with 'But......' just move on to the next thread and post.

Glad we're on the same team... The Democratic Party Team

Up until the race became competitive we endured volley after volley of "presumptive nominee" this and "radical leftist" that, and now that the polls are tightening up... The rules change?

Give me a break.

Be as nasty as you want to be; it's a free country. But I do wish we could all try to act like grown-ups and, if someone itches to throw flames, aim them at the true enemy.

Some national polls show Bernie making gains and nearly tripling his support.

I do warn both camps, it's way too early to worry about position polls. Wait until after the first debate or 6 weeks from the first primaries. Those are realistic numbers.

It is certainly convenient to pretend a benign and informal request for civility towards the candidates is equivalent to "changing the rules."

Granted, it's not predicated on the reality of the request, but to rationalize one's vulgarity towards a democratic candidate, I suppose the myopic have to re-color pretty much anything that doesn't validate their biases to better maintain their own personal narratives of that same reality.

Give me a break, part two.

It's a statistical fact.

You're attempts to mock me are really ridiculous.

of excellent candidates. Anyone trashing one of our candidates needs to spend a "time-out" in the clown car to see what the alternatives are.

If that kind of criticism is off limits, then a discussion board has no value in the critically important selection of Democratic candidates.

"If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side."

I do not understand the nastiness of either side here on the DU. It really says more about those posters than it does about the candidates.

As a relative newbie, I have begun already to recognize those posters who seem to love to be mean-spirited and hateful. I think it is sad. I cannot help but wonder if they are this way in their personal lives as well. Always looking for a fight.

We should be doing what DU is best known for...kicking the Clown Car posse around!
