(25,504 posts)That she wouldn't bother to confirm her assertion before making it publicly makes her judgment appear highly questionable.
Oh, and never mind that the two look nothing alike.

(47,656 posts)that turn most Democratic voters off. Sell yourself and your ideas, don't try to bring down fellow Democrats, especially one with a long distinguished career such as Emanuel Cleaver.

(25,504 posts)The other tweets and retweets of hers in this thread are as bad or worse. She's apparently channeling Jill Stein and Tulsi Gabbard.

(25,504 posts)It's a rather odd way of trying to get elected to public office, yet it seems that we're seeing it more and more.
And, of course, there's Trump, who alienated nearly everyone, yet people still voted for him.

(47,656 posts)if some of these people really want to get elected or if they're just trying to be disruptive.
As for Trump, there is no reasonable explanation for his wacky, brainwashed base. Politics seems to be their replacement for tacky reality TV.

She's being swarmed on twitter with calls to drop out. To think this twit is challenging Emanuel Cleaver!

(2,061 posts)She isn't happy with herself about making the mistake.
"When you're when you are running a campaign of this magnitude, mistakes are made."
The apology is even about self.

(2,061 posts)Could be one of the worst attempts at an apology I have seen.
Being completely wrong in order to make a connection between your opponent and a sexual predator. She views it as overstepping and thinks she "should have left it alone."

(61,727 posts)A real apology would be more like: "I made a stupid mistake based on deeply held biases and compounded it with very poor judgement in making a false accusation. I am taking some time to reflect on this newly discovered revelation about my own biases and judgement. Please forgive me. I am striving to become better."

She uses the fact that her opponent endorsed a great democrat as a way to attack him.
But she will reach across other party lines.

(47,656 posts)thread smell awfully trollish. A lot of people claiming to be Bernie fans but trashing Hillary and the Democratic party. Actually Polly looks like a possible troll herself.

I'm not linking her twitter account again. A certain group will flock to it and donate to her.

(2,061 posts)She also clearly presents as a woman, seems to have been born as a woman(original name was Monique - She has legally changed her name multiple times), yet claims to perform in "drag" at shows. How does that happen?

(2,897 posts)She's a mess, but drag while typically associated with men doesn't completely shut out women.

TidalWave46
(2,061 posts)Gotta be honest, I think I was just really confused reading up on her history. It's my understanding that she was traumatized severely at a very young age.
I say dumb thought on my part because I see women in drag a couple of times a year at a party's I go to hosted at Hamburger Mary's. Anyone who comes to town I suggest you stop by. The whole experience is amazing.

In a bit of irony, I have a feeling that today was also her biggest campaign haul.

Edit: excuse the picture. The Thread poster used it because of the giant gun she's holding, not because of her attire.
