1. This is how it's done - those other candidates that do anything less than this, are pathetic - IMHO.

....should withdraw from the race.

We've had several Democrats who have come to the defense of Biden, we've had a couple who have been conspicuously silent.

the occasion, then this tells us something important. Perhaps the most important information about them.

Many have risen. Applause for Booker and Harris. They made gutsy challenges to Biden. They put themselves on the line to do so. Now they put themselves on the line again.

I applaud their courage. Courage wins while silence speaks volumes about who is unwilling or unprepared to fight for “the soul of America.”

to Cory Booker who acknowledges the truth in:

An attack on one is an attack on all

And moral vandalism is a damn fine way of describing exactly what Trump is doing. He denigrates our candidates, abuses our election process and spits on our institutions.

This is why all our candidates should be pushing back. This cannot stand without a full repudiation.

Thank you again, Senator Booker!

Exactly the point we've been making and some refuse to acknowledge it because their candidates won't do it.

It could come back to bite them if they should happen to think they're helping themselves. They're only helping trump erase Democracy.


Trump was attempting to employ covert propaganda against the American public

Let that sink in!

Trump's attack on Joe Biden just infuriates me. And once he gets away with it, he will move on to the next Democrat, he wants to destroy. We need to stand up for one another or Trump wins, it's that simple.
