Song Of The Day 10/26: Stevie Wonder-My Cherie Amour
He was 19 years old when he released this:
Do the Delaware Stonewall (not) Democrats have a clear stance regarding not supporting Trump supporters this year?
I basically asked that question to The Delaware Stonewall (not) Democrats' Mitch Crane on a popular social media website. The answer is apparently "no" or to be more precise, "no...not yet", but Mitch is working on it.
That (not supporting Trump Republicans like Mike Ramone) is MY position and I expect all the board members would agree. I would like that question to be asked of all candidates seeking our support. They would have to state in writing that they will not vote for Trump.That is movement in the right direction, I suppose. But wouldn't it be easier to just go back to being the "Delaware Stonewall Democrats" and dispense with all the Trump supporting contortions.
