Searched his name and couldn't find this site. rogue emissary May 2025 #24

That is embarrassingly light. W_HAMILTON May 2025 #25

My impression as well dsc May 2025 #26

EXACTLY!!! elleng May 2025 #54

Hoyer will be just a few months shy of 87 if he won and took office. Self Esteem May 2025 #32

I am not arguing for blind support dsc May 2025 #36

Yes. I'm blindly supporting the younger alternative. Self Esteem May 2025 #41

To the old guard..Hoyer, Durbin (retiring) ,Schumer, Markey and yes Pelosi.. agingdem May 2025 #4

Oh my, is he also going to cry """rigged!!!1!!!""" when/if he loses? W_HAMILTON May 2025 #27

did you notice the results of the last election Skittles May 2025 #29

What I noticed last election is that Hoyer defeated his Democratic primary challengers 72.3 to 27.7 onenote May 2025 #31

the fact that someone wins doesn't really mean anything Skittles May 2025 #34

I suspect Steny Hoyer, who has earned the respect of his Democratic colleagues onenote May 2025 #37

in ANY other job there would be HUGE changes after such a dismal performance Skittles May 2025 #39

What job? Steny wasn't part of leadership in 2024. onenote May 2025 #40

THERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGES Skittles May 2025 #42

So I guess that's a yes - you want the current House Democratic leadership primaried onenote May 2025 #45

Unless you watched his Jeopardy episode, you didn't even know this guy two weeks ago. W_HAMILTON May 2025 #50

Hoyer faced three primary challengers in 2024 -- he crushed them onenote May 2025 #30

Sounds lame. I get that having younger people JI7 May 2025 #33

I disagree with some of his points like: mountain grammy May 2025 #35

This is good news Renew Deal May 2025 #47

He has a point, far as that goes, though every rule has exceptions Tom Rinaldo May 2025 #48

Hoyer needs to retire. I want some younger people in there and I'm old. Ritabert May 2025 #51

If "youth" is his only asset, then he should reconsider. no_hypocrisy May 2025 #52

Does he have anything ELSE to say? elleng May 2025 #53

All I can say is that I hope he can win if he wins the on. kerry-is-my-prez May 2025 #56
