Tasini isn't a serious candidate

and by that I mean that he didn't actually run the sort of campaign needed to have a chance to defeat Clinton. He is running in order to talk about the issues which is fine but for on-the-ground activists that are willing to work their tails off to get a candidate elected that means that he disqualifies himself from consideration.

There is no reason to contribute to or work your tail off for a candidate that isn't working their tail off for themselves.

If he does differently this time around then I'll withdraw the comment and say that he needs to be considered a serious candidate but until he takes himself seriously I don't see any reason why anyone else should.

Peace,

Andrew
