As much as former FBI director James Comey wants people to vote Democratic, he doesn’t want people to vote for all of them.
In a tweet Sunday afternoon, Mr. Comey said the Democrats’ recent lurch to the left might actually help President Trump.
“Democrats, please, please don’t lose your minds and rush to the socialist left. This president and his Republican Party are counting on you to do exactly that. America’s great middle wants sensible, balanced, ethical leadership,” he wrote.
To judge from early responses to the tweet, Democrats weren’t in the mood to take the advice.
“You made Trump president,” replied one Twitter user, apparently agreeing with Hillary Clinton’s diagnosis.
“When are you going to apologize to America for bringing about Mr. Trump and never telling the country about the Russian investigation?” added another.
A commenter named “Super Mario” was more direct, tweeting a picture containing an obscenity.
