In reply to the discussion: I know the Democrat I want to run in 2028. [View all]DFW
(58,197 posts)The whole series of accusations was an open scam engineered (even announced in advance!) by Roger Stone. That Al didnt immediately mount a huge defense was due to the fact that he trusted his fellow Democratic Senators to see through it. It blew his mind that they didnt. He gave them far too much credit. Some (Nelson, Tester, Whitehouse, et al) have made their apologies. Too many have not. Franni is still livid. Al has come to terms with it, but is not over it.
Of those Senators who trashed him during their 2020 presidential campaigns, I have supported the 2020 primary campaigns of exactly none of them, and if any of them run again in the 2028 primaries, I will again support none of them for the nomination. Not Sanders, not Warren, not Booker, not Harris, not Gillibrand. I will obviously fully, and unhesitatingly support the nominee, no matter who it is, as I did last year. Nonetheless, it is my fervent hope that our nominee will be someone other than one of those five. Realistically, it is my expectation as well, just as I am more than a little bit confident that Al will not be trying for it, either. He can read a calendar as well as anyone.
