40. Not moot, and it has nothing to do with the primaries (except that you're referring to the primary!)

He has accepted money from the DNC, DCCC, and DSCC (last two when they were appropriate since one applies to House candidates and one applies to Senate candidates) over the years and has accepted assistance from the three over the years, long before the 2016 Presidential primaries to which you refer.

So, getting back to my original comment five or six posts ago, Nina Turner expects these three committees, the resources of which "Our Revolution" candidates have and will be used, should "fit in" with Our Revolution, even though they're USING those committee's resources and not the other way around.

That is chutzpah.

What's up with the Nation? Calling us DEMS establishment? Madam45for2923 Jul 2017 #1
I stopped subscribing to that magazine. murielm99 Jul 2017 #2
Me too...they can get their money from "our revolution" and other third party riffraff. Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #87
Not surprised at all.... CherokeeDem Jul 2017 #3
and Nina mentions "the Senator" as if he was on board with the idea of endorsing non-DEMS! Madam45for2923 Jul 2017 #7
Those people are blindingly naive. Blue_true Jul 2017 #8
It was a big mistake letting a certain senator run as a Dem. Nothing but divisiveness has followed. brush Jul 2017 #44
Nevermind the fact that anyone on Twitter knows Turner hates Obama Blue_Tires Jul 2017 #81

Exactly. The Democratic Party has to set the record straight on this matter or we will wind up politicaljunkie41910 Jul 2017 #106
arguably, she doesn't agree she needs to foster unity with the leadership as the priority. JCanete Jul 2017 #85
