Instead, the Dem leadership was feckless, which led to the ridiculous situation we are in. They need to wake the hell up and understand that the rules are different now.

At this time, I donate to candidates I like. Neither the Senatorial or Congressional re-election people will get anything from me unless and until I hear candidates saying things like the mem does.
