44. Yeah, he should remain quiet & not say anything.

He's on the House Judiciary Committee & knows a lot of what's going on with the Russian investigation. He's young, sharp, articulate & comes across great on camera. Dem leadership would do the party a service to take note of the younger members & start promoting them well before the 2020 election so they have name & face recognition. Instead, I'm hearing the names of Biden & Warren & even Clinton. Yawn.

When I was a kid the dems were the young smart party. Now they're the old, played party. The other side has thrown the rule book in the trash. It's time the dems sharpened their game. If we don't gain control of the House in November it could be game over.
