I have lnown Chris Murphy for a long time: since I campaigned for him to become a (state) senator. He is really special: he has the integrity, grittiness, experience, and wisdom to someday be a really great American president. Keep an eye on him!

Hmmm he sure turned his back on Biden on a dime. I for sure will not trust him. I will have an eye on him but not for the same reasons 🤷🏽‍♀️

As a senator, Chris Murphy had closer exposure to Biden than the rest of us, and therefore more opportunity to evaluate Biden’s allegedly and slowly diminishing cognitive capacity, before it was publicly acknowledged. Having known Murphy a bit early in his political career, and watched him closely since, I am deeply confident in his unbendable integrity, and confident that he could be a practical, able, and inspiring president someday.

I would take a spoiled tuna sandwich over what we have now. The damage that was done to our party to this country is unimaginable. Chris Murphy is only one person Joe Biden would be surrounded by a team of competent people not to mention a VP that would've been able to then step in instead of what we now have the damage Chris Murphy did making others that back stabbed him is unforgivable. I know I am not alone in my view point he doesn't evoke or inspire complete confidence. You do you.

From the standpoint of a Latina woman with LGBTQIA children, I think I see it as much worse than Sen. Murphy. Let’s not make it a habit to minimize what is already so horrifying, please

For the “exigencies” of our General Government (though not a national one):

Republicans ALWAYS change the rules when it favors them. Even when it’s against the Constitution. They did it to get the corrupt Supreme Court (looking at you Mitch McConnell) and now they’re doing it to diminish the co-equal branches of government.

I love Murphy. He never stops trying to hold back the fascism and getting the word out. Too bad so many people aren’t paying attention.
