I want to make informed decisions. Who's going to do the informing?

1. This was the first strike against Pete

and, you're right, we don't know how legitimate it was. There is a wealth of evidence out there that Pete is an exemplary candidate. Now there's one brief quote (possibly taken out of context) that seems to indicate he was critical of some aspects of Hillary's campaign. Does that erase everything else? Not even close. Not a chance!

Any serious contender for the nomination who starts to get some traction is going to have all kinds of things thrown at them in an attempt to bring them down a rung or two.

Chin up. Carry on, defacto. Better days ahead (and some bumpy ones too, no doubt, but we'll persevere).
