13. Or BACK them when they do run. That's a good suggestion for Sen. Schumer

and the party leadership.

The party leadership seems to favor Corporate Candidates over Progressives every time.

See the NJ Race for Governor where we had a good Dem Candidate who could have unseated Christie. However, the Dems were enamoured of Christie for some inexplicable reason. I know he hugged Obama who probably saved his rear end at the time, as Christie's mishandling of Sandy was causing him real problems in that election.

So Dems in NJ ENDORSED the Republican!! In a Blue State! More than 60 of them!

And the leadership abandoned the race to Christie, leaving the Dem without support and without money.

THAT is what the problem is.

Not the first time either, that the Dem leadership seemed to prefer the Republican over the Dem.. Florida comes to mind.
