I do look forward to his being on TV outing the republicans for the traitors they are.







One last remark, if you wanted a definitive example of why our political process tends to not always attract the very best, this is it. No better person anywhere, no bigger feminist anywhere. But this is like a message to DECENT, extremely BRIGHT people, STAY AWAY!!!



HAVING said THAT, i will support EVERY democrat in EVERY Race as if my life depends on it.

And by no means do I mean by my angry comment to say there are no decent or brilliant people in our politics, there are, but they are outnumbered by liars and thieves.

family through in his first election, I understand why he resigned after being back stabbed by the DNC, DSCC, and numerous fellow Dem senators.

However, I will never forget nor get over this. A good man and one of a few to directly challenge Sessions and Trump finally fell to the lies of the RNC.
