64. It doesn't matter if it's EW

or not.

I do want her to stay in the Senate and represent her state.

I'm talking about progressives who are true to their Democratic roots and stay left, or at least left-center. No right-wing tilts or Blue Dogs.

You see many of them are now gone. The Blue Dog Coalition is smaller each election year.

It's time for a choice - a real progressive Democrat, or a real Republican?

I'll tell you this: HRC is far from being a real Democrat due to her policies that favors the 1%.
