and I’m quite willing to see her fail a few times because when she gets experience she will always fight for us. She will be a powerhouse.

I’ve always been a Progressive Democrat. I learned long ago to be patient and to acknowledge progress, even if it is incremental. She will mellow in her actions and words though she will always fight. Like Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee, Elizabeth Warren and Maxie Hirono of Hawaii. We should be happy they won’t just shut up and sit down!
