To be honest, I don't think any of the Democrats should be criticized at all...

...because Donald Trump has made everything "normal".

Nothing that any of the Democrats has done is equal to the words or actions of Donald Trump. Why should Democrats operate with different standards? When the Repubs criticize one of our own, just laugh at 'em. Don't expect more from the Democrats than Repubs expect from Donald Trump.

But, we are not like them. We expect our candidates to be more decent and more moral and more "normal".

Well, screw them!

That's about where I'm at.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

reason we impeached tRUMP was because he is NOT NORMAL and never will be.

This "not criticizing any Democrats at all" seems to be a new position of yours, since the reaction of Floridians to Sanders' interview comments.

Warren supporters were happy at the last debate where she attacked everyone but Bernie.

It’s a bad thing when Sanders gets it though?
