but we definitely need to rebrand the Democratic Party. The view that we are spineless whimps is not helpful. And yes, resorting to middle school name calling doesn't improve that image at all. I've been pleasantly surprised by the resistance I have seen but that it is surprising is not good. It's seems obvious that the repubs are determined to act like frat boys during spring break. We need to be the adults in the room with a clear plan that makes our country better and an image that we have the strength to make it happen.
