(7,321 posts)51. I agree with you wrt Frank's motivation/agenda. Don't agree with his "progressive" creds
His "legislative" contributions not only falls short of progressive objectives, he tends to always favor Big Money. His rationalizations are always couched in going as far as what is politically "possible" which I totally get, but it always seems he's way too willing to give the house away for a piece of lumber in exchange, just for the sake of "compromise".. and in order to get credit for passing any piece of crap no matter how totally corrupted. I personally can't stand that about him. But I think you're right and I believe that's why he's made himself available for a position in her cabinet.

And it's a Primary. People have the right to support who they wish and to advocate accordingly
