I feel the same. I don’t like all this divisiveness either. Criticizing Obama’s pick without recognizing the potential long game here is a problem for me.

He’s welcome to disagree with the choice but implying that Obama chose a more centrist candidate as his first choice because he’s a centrist himself rather than for pretty obvious political reasons is disingenuous. If he’d said “I get what Obama is doing but I would have preferred a more liberal candidate, as I’m sure…
