It isn't about what's better for the party or country. It is about trying to stay in power.

With election you get your salary and all that money from lobbyists and special interests. It is just so hard to let that all go. These people are mostly like used car salesmen.

Don't they also get lifetime free health care. Thought I heard or read that,but may be a vicious rumor.

@gigihein I think it is called Tricare and it is mostly free for elected officials. They get the healthcare that they so vigorously deny the rest of us.

@DenoPenno you are probably right. That is the insurance of the military. Have a feeling they get a better one and don't have to go to military doctors

Since the election I have heard him interviewed on MSNBC saying he will support her. Haven't heard this version of the story.

I was actually surprised. She is smart. Joy on msnbc reported prior to her winning that no politician can win without corporate money. Alexandria and others did.

He did initially.

@gigihein I have no problems with Reid, Sanders, Cortez and most of the rest of them. I also admit Reid might be doing this in a way to bring things out on her show, and I also admit that my political view today is very close to Democratic Socialism.

I hope she kicks his butt again !
I am curious as to how the DNC reacts to this.
I really don't trust them

From what I see marginalizing her. Pelosi was so dismissive, saying she was a progressive herself. I think some are going with the way to left card.
I hear Democrat Socialist, but I grew up understanding Democrats as those who align with civil rights, unions and the working people, environmental issues (which came later). It wasnt called social democrat, to me it was not letting our country be a 3rd world country. Taxes were raised for the rich who benefitted from the working class and made their wealth from them as employees and consumers. I admit, I am an optimist..and notice the positive over negative never seeing the negative had bern winning.

Holding onto power -- reelection -- is a politician's first interest. Then comes helping friends, financial suportersbbyists. In the time left, politicians will help the general public if it makes them look good.
