連勝文表態參選台北市長，民進黨籍參選人群起圍攻，律師顧立雄就直指連勝文自稱創業第一代是虛偽，但柯文哲遲不加入民進黨，讓泛綠整合難題未解，前副總統呂秀蓮就開砲，呼籲黨中央沒必要再和黨外人士談整合了。
面對連勝文表態角逐台北市長，柯文哲一句評論的話都不說，但民進黨籍參選人，可是不吐不快。
[[前副總統 呂秀蓮]]
台灣人說媽祖要出巡之前，要先去進香，我感覺上是連戰先去北京進香，習近平接見，然後回來兒子才宣佈。
呂秀蓮要求連勝文交代和中國的關係，律師顧立雄則透過臉書，對連勝文自封是創業第一代，直批虛偽外，也對連有所質疑。

他過去對於台灣，到底做出什麼樣子的貢獻?
泛綠砲口對外，但內部同樣火花四射。呂秀蓮對於民進黨要和柯文哲整合，有所不滿。
[[前副總統 呂秀蓮]]
沒有什麼好整合，各走各的，不要再那邊勾勾纏(牽扯不清)。
我建議民進黨直接把連勝文，請進來民進黨好了，不要選舉，就讓他當選好了。
呂秀蓮重砲抨擊，而民進黨的整合課題，似乎仍是一大難題。
Another likely front-runner in the mayoral race is the independent Ko Wen-je, who is head of trauma at National Taiwan University Hospital. Ko held back when asked about Sean Lien announcing his candidacy. DPP members who intend to seek the party’s nomination were not so reserved.
Ko Wen-je did not comment upon Sean Lien’s announcement that he will run to become Taipei mayor. But former Vice President Annette Lu had plenty to say.

Taiwanese people say that before Matsu goes on a pilgrimage, incense must be offered. I think that Lien Chan first went to Beijing to make a similar offering to Xi Jinping. After Xi accepted it, Lien’s son Sean Lien could publicly announce his candidacy.
Lu asked Sean Lien to come clean about his relationship with China. Lawyer Wellington Koo took to Facebook, criticizing Lien as being false for declaring himself a self-started entrepreneur.

In the past, how has he contributed to Taiwan?
Pan-green criticism was not only reserved for Lien. Lu made remarks critical of independent candidate Ko Wen-je. She is upset that the DPP is catering to Ko’s potential candidacy, despite him not being a member of the party.

There has been no integration. Each side is pursuing its own interests. They shouldn’t tangle matters up like this. I suggest the DPP directly invite Sean Lien to join the party so we don’t need an election. We will simply give it to him.
Lu’s criticism comes as the DPP struggles to determine how to select its nominee and debates whether it should even put one forward. Waiting are Lien and the other KMT candidates.
