Harry Reid: Hillary Clinton "has a clear field"...."right now we have Hillary Clinton and that's it"

15. Congressional leaders failed to give appropriate opportunities

All Stars are created by opportunities to be in the spotlight - working on key committees, issuing important bills, and weighing in on issues of International scale.

IMHO, Barbara Lee is an All Star, but she hasn't had the opportunities in the last category. Given the tenor of her speeches, I think she has in fact shunned them, because she has been making a point to emphasize domestic problems. She notes that the US has a bad habit of policing the world and using jingoism as a distraction from impending infrastructure disasters right here. This emphasis on domestic issues might make Barbara Lee seem like she lacks "International stature" - but it actually means she's standing up for the people who live here in the United States: unlike the rest of our so-called representatives who are standing up for an supra-national oligarchy.
