This has got to stop. We're now in danger of not taking over the senate bc of yet another great white progressive hope and his, shall we say, foibles.

People on the left hated HRC because she got paid to give speeches. That was disqualifying to them. But a guy with obvious, shall we say, issues? He's A OK.
