It was about time someone took Donny Deutsch off of his unearned high horse in attempting to determine who should represent the Democratic party. He believes that claiming Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders cannot beat Donald Trump makes it so. He is like a push poller. O’Donnell called him out and in the process got him very frazzled.
Lawrence O’Donnell checks a frazzled Donny Deutsch
A few months ago I wrote a blog post titled “Will Democratic Centrists support a very Progressive Candidate?” where I referenced Donny Deutsch. He said he would vote for Donald Trump over Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders.
It is my job, our job to make that case to convince others that our position is the preferred one. for us to get to our ultimate candidate. If you are making your case in anger or disdain for someone who is simply doing what you are as well, no one will be listening, just talking to thin air. If we want to win we better first listen, analyze, make/modify our case, and then move on. And when the primary is over, unite behind the choice. It is a democracy.
My concern is something I heard on Morning Joe when one of the panelists, Donny Deutsch, a purported Democrat & Liberal first said he would vote for Trump if a particular Democrat won the primary. Really. I’ve always made it clear I would be supporting the choice of Democrats. When Bernie lost in the 2016 primaries I made it clear at Daily KOS that I would be all-in to support Hillary and I worked my a$$ off for her.
Here is the segment of the video where Deutsch made the comment.
