And then going forward you're telling Dems that anyone they nominate could be replaced in the future if the polls and vibes aren't great, which is a fantastic way to fracture your party and lose a lot of trust.

Look, I don't want a fight, but "always" is bullshit you're trying to paint me with and you know it. It's as though I said your position is that "going down with the ship" is "always" the best option. Maybe you -do- think that, but it would be wrong of me to claim it.
