Two Dem Senators I have seen step up their games

[brokephibroke]

Mark Warner and Michael Bennet.

Warner in general way, publicly showing leadership on many issues. Bennet specifically on the ACA.

I know Warner considered higher office a few cycles ago but opted out, he would be a great president. Bennet has never said anything about higher office, perhaps it's time to plant the seed

Anyone else standout to you?

1. Chris Murphy, CT

2. Bob Casey PA

Used to be quiet and under-the-radar. Not anymore. Great FB presence.

3. Agree, but don't forget about Kirsten Gillibrand

And Chris Murphy (see #1)

4. The opportunity stands for those

Who lead with morality, optimism and clarity. No doubt we are seeking that in our time of national malaise.

5. It's unfortunate that our side often needs some adversity to grow.

The Bush years led to the growth of the Netroots and brought us some really great members of Congress (including some guy with big ears who was born in Hawaii).

If we're going to have to suffer under Trump, hopefully the backlash will be worth it.
