Watch them carefully. Their goal is to promote a certain set of leaders and cause dissent from within. An inflexible lot, they slam our candidates routinely, by raising ' legit concerns'. You will know them by their responses , even to what I'm writing. 'Establishment' Dems are bad, so they say.

I fully expect this to be alerted. It's what they do.
