Women Senators and House Reps on stage now - Harris of CA speaking first

[eleny]

It took a minute to figure out who they all were and then it dawned on me that they were women of Congress. Nice!

1. My Senator......this is what a LEADER looks like.

4. That's just what I thought as soon as she began speaking

Direct and spot on.

[beaglelover]

6. I believe she has a very bright future in the party. She's a very smart woman.

[JudyM]

2. It's great!

I'm glad they are getting a shot of strength and purpose and recognition for this. Just wish DWS didn't take a prominent position near the mike. I hope she is not going to speak.

[riversedge]

5. I am glad she is upfront. Time to move on and all work together.

[JudyM]

7. She hurt the party more than anyone.

[joshcryer]

9. Yes, unity. No more Dem bashing, that's how they win.

[JudyM]

10. They win when our politicians don't have their eye on the ball.

We lost a ton of seats. We need strong, focused leadership in our party.

[joshcryer]

12. They win by depressing the vote.

[joshcryer]

8. And so it begins.

I wonder how many women in attendance care about such a trivility that bugs a poster on a forum. Maybe they should be told all about why she should attend in a sort of purity pecking order, if you will. Despite being duely elected in her southern district.

[nolabear]

13. Oh stop. We can't do this.

They use our willingness to be shamed and to shame one another against us. We need to stand together, flawed individuals that we are.

[joshcryer]

20. Exactly.

[riversedge]

3. basically--all political issues ARE women's issues.

11. Maxine Waters naming names, now! Sessions and Tillerson

Tillerson is a friend of Putin. Naming names and kicking ass.

[bdamomma]

14. Woo hOO

Maxine Waters Is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eleny]

15. Waters introduced each of the women in the Black Caucus to cheers and applause

Sen. Gillibrand up now at the mic.

[kydo]

16. WOW Val Demings won!

Sorry I dropped off the news after the election. It took a month for me to find out Stephanie Murphy won. And I donated to her. She is my new congress critter. But way cool on Val winning!!

I get to meet my new rep Wednesday night!!

[eleny]

17. Good for you for stepping back in

It's been a tough month.

[Stellar]

18. My Senator from Illinois, Tammy Duckworth!

Tammy Duckworth, wheelchair and all!!!

[joshcryer]

19. Just wondering if those were the democrats Moore was talking about.
