I’m reminded of the Esurance commercial; “that’s not how it works. that’s not how any of this works”
I say keep the turn up the pressure on the remaining Democrats. Most of them may be extremely leftist so the strategy might not be effective. When Obama says things like this turn to them and say, “For the record, is this what you want in a leader?” Keep putting them on the record for the next election and force them to go against Obama.
