Would you prefer she trashed Biden? That would have made her more money crimycarny Jun 2025 #61

Trashed Biden? That's not what she did. She trashed the party. I guess you prefer that. brush Jun 2025 #84

Publicity stunt to sell a book. So pathetic awesomerwb1 Jun 2025 #33

Publicity stunt or not, at least she isn't piling on the "Biden cover up" train crimycarny Jun 2025 #41

We can agree to disagree awesomerwb1 Jun 2025 #46

Is she encouraging people to leave the Democratic party? crimycarny Jun 2025 #47

I agree 100%. ShazzieB Jun 2025 #74

Bizarre, isn't it? tulipsandroses Jun 2025 #79

Definitely bizarre. ShazzieB Jun 2025 #87

Seems to me the answer is NOT "when your party's in trouble, head for the hills". calimary Jun 2025 #51

Kinda like after the debate when many Dems were "heading for the hills" and abandoning Biden? crimycarny Jun 2025 #53

We still don't have anyone who can handle the media like Trump can gulliver Jun 2025 #52

Agree 100% crimycarny Jun 2025 #54
