But no one has stayed on topic to disagree with what he's said about where Democrats need to go.

And I will point out that he is a Democratic public figure, one of the most influential through two Presidencies and successful in getting more Democrats elected to Congress since 2000 than any DNC chair or anyone else who has served as the Congressional election chair of the party. So the bashing that is going on here is not productive, or beneficial to any Democratic party cause, aside from the fact that no one is disagreeing with his points.
