    When I see someone say, I won’t be supporting candidate XYZ because they voted for bill ABC in 2003, it’s an immediate tell for me that you aren’t being intellectually honest about your intentions. Critique vote XYZ, but EVERY candidate has had multiple BAD votes. Go deeper.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1079762559182356480 …

    I have a few concerns with @ewarren. But let me say this LOUDLY. If you have a political candidate that you DO NOT have concerns about then you are BLIND. Every single candidate, all of them, 100%, have said or done something problematic. If you say otherwise you’re lying.

        I don't think she has the charisma (unfortunately, this is where we are...so let's be honest...Americans aren't swayed by substance), she doesn't have the grit (her clapbacks and fight against the Pocantas bullying have been weak) and she doesn't appeal to middle America.

        Those are serious concerns. It will all come out in the primary.

        Not in a national primary. All I am saying is that she will add a lot to the primary and deserves some time before we cross her off. First debates are in 7 months.

        Sure...I'm more than willing to be surprised. But she has been out there a while. She's no Beto or Stacey or Andrew or @AOC. There's nothing fresh about Elizabeth Warren.

        There’s too much on the line for voters to sit this one out. No candidate is perfect. The candidate running against Trump needs to win. Let’s come together and make it happen.

        A candidates record on voting for or against the Iraq War in 2003 was a deciding factor in who I supported in 2008. As President, judgement is the most important attribute. It’s a tell of how they would make decisions in that office.

        Agreed. But when we have some candidates who weren’t around for that vote it makes it hard.

        Me either. Really like many of his economic ideas, but I really dislike him. He strikes me as dangerously inept on other social issues that are important to me.

        Back when I did hair, new peeps rarely knew what they wanted done. So I would ask them what they *didn't* want. They ALWAYS knew what they didn't want. It was always a good place to start. My view of Dem candidates is the same now. I know what I don't want.

        Mind you, I like her, but she’s going to break a lot of peoples hearts when she finally has to have a voting record. And if she doesn’t comprise, her tenure will be short lived.
