36. Well, they could maybe take a page from the GOP playbook

I agree with you by the way.

Although I understand the frustration because this does seem unprecedented. I wouldn't mind if the Democrats did what the GOPers are famous for - push 1 or 2 members into the spotlight and let them righteously rant and foam about treason, collusion, etc. That gives vent to voter frustration, and gives calmer, cooler Pelosi-heads a 'good cop' platform.

These are very strange times - even for our elected Reps
