I would have preferred more direct statements, but decorum does have a place.

Good Opus is trying to move forward, Bad Opus wanted to title this "Rahm Emmanuel Calls Hillary 'Loser'" based on this quote:
The Elders are still trying to leave room for her to do the right thing, and to put the interests of the party and the nation first.

Keep in mind too that Rahm Emmanuel is a big time DLC guy so this is a big deal for him to say this so boldly.

Yes, he's remained neutral so far and is calling out for party unity. It was big news to me to see this today.

Is it a copyright thing, or a space on the server issue? Or both? Just curious.
