Who is the Democrat you would pick to deliver an epic

[malaise]

speech on decorum in Congress?

One is urgently needed complete with video clips of MAGAts violating said decorum.

[surfered]

1. Warnock in the Senate, Raskin in the House?

[JohnSJ]

3. Without a doubt Raskin should be there.

[surfered]

14. Yes , Jasmine. She's smart and fearless

[Jit423]

18. Ditto!

[sop]

2. Jasmine Crockett

[rampartd]

6. i love ms crockett

and aoc

but decorum might best be left to an old timer with "gravitas".

raskin seems obvious

[sop]

8. Raskin's a good choice; he's great at exposing Republicans' hypocrisy and duplicity, always with humor and verve.

Congressional decorum and gravitas got us into this mess, it won't get us out of it.

[rampartd]

9. self analysis

maybe i used "gravitas" to stand in for "white male"

but maybe , considering the subject and desired audience, that is the only speaker they might listen to.

another thought : can you imagine the "decorum" of their drama caucus during such a speech?

[karynnj]

16. Maybe not if you think Nancy Pelosi or Patty Murray fit those words.

I think both would.

My question would be whether a speech on decorum is the best use of our time. There are so many more big issues to address.

In addition, while the worst behavior in the Congress has been several Republicans that all of us could name, Republicans will use ANYTHING Democrats have done and twist things to make it look worse.

After years of "let's go Brandon", Biden Crime Family, Biden is senile Etc, they now are expecting complete subservience from Democrats equating any disagreement with treason. Forgetting that most Republican Senators sent a letter telling the Ayatollah that Obama could not make a lasting nuclear deal.

Some examples of their hypersensitivity is the Trump appointed DC judge investigating Chuck Schumer for his comments on Supreme Court Justices or the right wing outrage over the peaceful protests in Vermont that JD Vance faced. The signs, for the most part, dealt with Trump/Vance siding with Russia over Ukraine, illegal cuts to Congress approved funds, potential cuts of the safety net. The weirdest thing was many Republicans argued they were paid protesters and questioned how they knew he was there even though it was covered by local news. Like much of New England, Vermonters are politically engaged in their communities.

20. pelosi was one of my choices, but the clip of her tearing dear leader's speech .......

decorum is a bogus issue anyway. in the same class of importance as zelensky's suit (though i notice that musk seems to have found a coat and tie since then)

[Attilatheblond]

27. 'Decorum' in this age means stop struggling while I rape and kill you

Any self defense coach worth listening to will tell people to fight like your life depends on it, because IT DOES!

[malaise]

10. Yep

I love AOC and Jasmine - but this one is fire Raskin - they can be on several programs after the speech

[rampartd]

4. raskin

and, yes, it is a good idea.

[samplegirl]

5. Eric Swalwell

[Ars Longa]

7. Eric Swallwell

[RoeVWade]

11. I wish AOC was older and more experienced. But not jaded. Or cynical yet. And a noted great speaker. Yes, I wish.

[malaise]

12. Huh?

Why - she’s good as is

[RoeVWade]

13. For me, she is, and for you. We need the USA to believe it, and I'm not so sure about that.

[RoeVWade]

17. She's tough, she's got enthusiasm, and her heart is in the right place. But I'm looking for an Obama epic speech when

he spoke at the first convention. And I'm not sure she's there.

[Scrivener7]

19. Not an obvious choice, but Tammy Duckworth. Watch her speech where she eviscerates

a guy who was scamming the VA and taking services from vets who need them, and you'll see why.

[LuvLoogie]

21. Raskin came to my mind first.

He would be good for that. I think he'd make a good speaker, too.

I hope that AOC gets a shot at leadership soon. I think she'd make a great speaker some day, if she doesn't move on to the Senate or a cabinet position.

[Comrade Citizen]

22. The Honorable Rep. Al Green nt

[Nanjeanne]

23. Why a speech on decorum? I'm sure not interested in discussing decorum when our country is

becoming a third world dictatorship.

[SheilaAnn]

24. I love Jasmine a lot but she is one of those who walked out so, there's that. n/t

[NNadir]

25. Ocasio-Cortez

[ananda]

26. Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Raphael Warnock...

and to top it off, Elizabeth Warren.

[Starbeach]

28. Jamie and Jasmine

Powerful duo.

[SheltieLover]

29. Maxine Waters!

[crimycarny]

30. Jasmine Crockett

I love Jamie Raskin, and he'd be good at it, but I think Congress needs a fresh face who won't pull any punches.

Jamie Raskin doesn't pull any punches, but he's also played this role time and time again, and the GOP just ignores him. Jasmine Crockett has proven time and time again to flummox the GOP, and they don't know how to respond.

[Hope22]

31. I think Pete Buttigieg could represent us on any topic.

He is familiar with the FOX crowd and able to keep the conversation focused yet interesting.

[gab13by13]

32. John Fetterman 😁

[Deep State Witch]

33. Jamie Raskin

He's a Constitutional Law professor. He's also one of the REAL Dem leadership, along with AOC and Jasmine Crockett.

[Ping Tung]

34. AOC

[SocialDemocrat61]

35. JFK

But he might not be available 😉

[malaise]

36. ROFL

😀
