The HillDemocratic candidates for president are increasingly throwing barbs and exchanging shots with one another ahead of their first debate in just three weeks.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg took aim at one another over former Sen. Al Frankens (D-Minn.) resignation, with Buttigieg implicitly criticizing Gillibrand by saying he wouldnt have pressured Franken to resign over sexual misconduct allegations based on what was known at the time.

Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have taken swipes at former Vice President Joe Biden over his willingness to attend high-dollar fundraisers with Wall Street supporters. Warren also took a shot at Biden over his willingness to work with Republicans.

After former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said that socialism is not the answer if the party wants to defeat President Trump, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee fired back.

(101,728 posts)answered honestly. Her own (much deserved) defensiveness caused her reflexive response--which did her no favors. Ironically, she has been doing well on delineating her positions lately, but this is her Achilles heel and she refuses to respond in any manner except to become more defensive and obstinate. Even when those interviewing her all but give her the obvious "out" and bend over backward to acknowledge her broader efforts toward the issue, she just digs in further.

(16,485 posts)Any candidate slamming another for wanting to work with some Republicans for the betterment of the country are expressing short sightedness. Not capitulate, but find common ground on issues important to both sides.
I know, change is not easy. I have found that out with losing weight and keeping it off these past 6 years. I have had to change a lot of things to eat and live healthier. It has to be done in steps using the Feel, Felt Found approach. Perhaps there are Republicans out there who know their constituents are hurting and their inaction to address those concerns are complicating things as long as Trump is in the White House.

(14,118 posts)At present we can see how bipartisan McConnel, tRUMP and the rest of the right wing are willing to be. And we have the history of the Obama presidency to show us that to a reTHUG "bipartisanship" is a word that in operation means "obstruction"!

(16,485 posts)Any Republican who makes the decision that it is the people of a Free country they serve, not a president or party.
They need to be reminded of that.
