On Thursday, former President Barack Obama was the main guest at a fundraiser in Silicon Valley. When asked a question about the many candidates running, he told those present that he couldn't care less whether they'd like the eventual nominee. They just have to vote for him/her/it.
"Everybody needs to chill out about the candidates, but gin up about the prospect of rallying behind whoever emerges from this process," Obama told the millionaire techies, according to far-left news channel CNN. "There will be differences" between them, he added, "but I want us to make sure that we keep in mind that, relative to the ultimate goal, which is to defeat a president and a party that has ... taken a sharp turn away from a lot of the core traditions and values and institutional commitments that built this country," those differences are "relatively minor."
"The field will narrow and there's going to be one person, and if that is not your perfect candidate and there are certain aspects of what they say that you don't agree with and you don't find them completely inspiring the way you'd like, I don't care," he went on to say. "Because the choice is so stark and the stakes are so high that you cannot afford to be ambivalent in this race."
In other words, shut the heck up and vote for whomever the Democratic Party nominates. You don't have to like him or her, you just have to vote for him/her.
You've got to give it to Obama: he doesn't make a secret of his arrogance and party-first mentality. Principles? Yack, who needs those? Disagreeing with the nominee about "climate change" and "health care"? Who cares? The nominee will have a "D" next to her/his name, and that's the thing that truly matters.

Some libs own guns.
Some libs own businesses.
Some Libs own 401Ks.
Some Libs are pro-life.
To those Libs I say “welcome on board to the Trump Train.
Translation: It doesn’t matter which dem you pick because the dem/MSM and the deep state minions I put in place will take care of everything else.
I met Trump briefly in NYC years ago. He’s exactly like he is on camera. He talks. There’s no chance for a conversation. And he doesn’t really have time for idle chit-chat. If you can’t do something for him, then he’s pretty dismissive. And that’s totally fine! I don’t need my world leaders to be regular guys. Also, Trump doesn’t drink alcohol. So there’s that as well. When I met him he was drinking water.
Th stupid leading the blind.
Now we know the DNC is in major trouble.
Clearly they have no solution for a winnable candidate and Obama has not figured out that the Midwest is the battleground and they are loosing badly there.
Biden is their only hope and he isn’t going to make it after SC
Obama = No Gravitas
“Close your eyes and think of England”
Trump wouldn’t want to have a beer with you either (he does not drink) but I m sure he appreciates your vote.
RE: Clearly they have no solution for a winnable candidate and Obama has not figured out that the Midwest is the battleground and they are loosing badly there.
Yep, this remark by Obama sounds to me like desperation.
Why not let Michelle take the helm instead?
$RE: I literally said in my post that I would vote for Trump, and you assume I voted for McCain? I
I assumed nothing. I asked a question.
Yeah, big buy, I get it. See post #43.
Would Obama be saying the same thing if Tusli Gabbard were the nominee?
We Democrats offer nothing but higher taxes and more regulations, but vote for us anyway.
[/s]
Yeah, right.
Okay, idiot, I nominate Satan. Start your campaign right away. But make sure you get some photo ops with him.

That is a good analysis.
Obama..yet, another rich socialist?
Sounds like sound advice .....for democrats that is. As often as I loathed the republican presidential candidate I always voted for him. And cursed him later. I thought of voting for a write in or a 3rd party candidate. But knew in my heart it was really a vote for the democrats. Sadly I admit to voting for Romney and McCain. But the alternative???
POTUS: “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream!”
TAXMAN: “America cannot survive a LIEberal victory in 2020!”
