Sorry, but anyone in doubt that Nina Turner and the Our Revolution folks have gone off the rails need take a look at their fav Dennis Kucinich and his attitudes about the Trump/Russia investigation:
A Deep State Plot to Undermine the Trump Administration.
Sound familiar? As in Alt-right theory. Listen to Dennis and then think about the horseshoe theory of politics in the wild, in the flesh, in our faces. And in our elections.
This is how our efforts could become divided, once again.
Let's not let it happen! 2018 is the most important election of our lifetimes. This sort of nonsense cannot and will not stand.

(10,828 posts)Kucinich is still considered a progressive firebrand who will stand with working families. That's the position he always took in the past.
However, his appearances on Fox News sounding like a conspiracy theorist--Deep State Stages Coup Against Trump Administration--taints his progressive creds in my mind.
In fact, any Trumpster-hugging is an instant black mark as far as I'm concerned because the man (Trump) is a complete disaster--for the working class, for everyone. The details piling up on the Trumpster is not because he's an innocent lamb stalked by the Big Bad Wolf. It's because he's up to his neck in sludge.
Under the circumstances, Kucinich was a poor choice/endorsement by Turner and her group. Unless they think that appealing to Trump supporters in Ohio will win them the primary then all bets are off.
All I see it doing is splitting the Democratic vote. Again.
