Markos, I am a former Republican in the process of switching over to vote democratic in this next election. I thought that Democrats were more enlightened and more informed, however your article which referred to Mayor Pete as an “Asshole” only shows your ignorance and your arrogance. Daily Kos repeatedly asks for money to keep it alive, but I expect more than childish name calling from any news outlet I take seriously and donate to (as I do for NPR).
I have heard Mayor Pete speak, and in my humble opinion, he is a Washington outsider that has the greatest chance of beating Donald Trump. He is a great speaker… he can think on his feet… he understands the military, he has a true moral compass, and he is a genuinely nice person. Maybe it’s time for you to listen to him and write something that does not use playground language.
I had high hopes that Daily Kos would be a far better place to learn the facts... that it might help us select a candidate that COULD beat Donald Trump. From the article you wrote about the “small town mayor” it would seem that you are no better than our “commander-in-tweet.”
