4. Respectfully, why?

Thank you for your civility. My rockbottom concern is we Dems need to FIRST, beyond other considerations, take 23 Republican seats. Period. A Sanders type, read SOCIALIST across red voting areas by various media and the trump huge megaphone, hurts beyond local candidate lines - seems fairly certain in S.C., where my reading of SC candidates is, Sanders 'stay out!' Sanders, and other pols, have their own personal interests, which have garnered unhelpful publicity for Dems pre November. The argument, that Sanders will compensate by getting more Dem votes out does not fly in SC type areas. The SC consensus seems to be, Sanders clearly is a net loss. This argument goes beyond SC borders.

[This is not personal against Sanders, or any of the others, making their 'availability' ambitions public, in early races positioning against one another - which is not in Dem November best interests. Trump and the 'cons have been gleeful at these Dem ambitions].

P.S. No way this an attack on you. Hopefully, just helpful debate.
