Discussion: Rep. Seth Moulton Enters 2020 Race: 'I'm Running Because I'm A Patriot'

I thought he was already running on the “yoga” vote.

Where do you think he got that line? From Bradley Whitford delivering Aaron Sorkin’s self righteous pablum in The West Wing, or from Ed Norton in The Bourne Legacy?

There is no reason to take him any more seriously than Tulsi Gabbard…oh, and she isnt a “patriot”…Mayor Pete? He doesnt have a lock on military service…just ego that far exceeds his (fill in the blank)

More likely to want to impeach the SPeaker than the President*.

“Patriotism, the last refuge of the scoundrel.” S. Johnson

Also too, this statement implies a lack of patriotism on the part of others running and, as such, should be immediately disqualifying.

Primary this guy, somebody. He really doesn’t belong in the Democratic party.

Alfred E. Neuman

Didn’t he run and win under a pseudonym? George W. something?

Definite possibility in this case, since he’s probably going to be facing a primary challenge.

Gabbard at least has a sort of constituency for her weird heterodox views, albeit a small one that’s already been mostly absorbed into the Bernie machine. Who is Moulton’s constituency supposed to be that isn’t already represented by Biden or for that matter Tim Ryan? (betcha forgot he was running too)

That is a terrible, TERRIBLE thing to say about Alfred E. Newman.

In Massachusetts, “Patriot” means something different. As in, deflating footballs, having convicted murderers as teammates with the knowledge of the owners, having the owner get busted in a whorehouse specializing in underage girls (and funded by the Chinese government)…perhaps that’s what he meant? “A massage parlor on every corner, a crooked football game every Sunday!”

Somehow, I don’t think Al is worried about it.

I was referring to the people who had served in the military

“I’m Running Because I’m A Patriot.”

Implying that the other candidates aren’t as “patriotic” as he is.

What a douche.

Moulton was on Rachael tonight. I didn’t watch the interview, but I did watch a video she showed beforehand of one of his town halls - he was telling the audience “we” want this (Pelosi’s removal) and him getting shouted down repeatedly, yet he still kept on as if removing Pelosi was a great idea.

According to a report aired by NBC News in Boston last November, a primary challenger is likely.

I watched him on Rachel last night and he came off as a real arrogant prick.

He deserves a primary challenger.
