...which doesn't produce colorful nationally recognized Congresscritters, just good Democrats, we are told will have an obscene amount of GOP money thrown into the race next year. That's not just local rumor, that's the Los Angeles Times. Our Congressman is in his first term, and already there's a lineup of 4 Republicans coming for him, including the guy who lost to him the last time.

So when I read here that Nancy Pelosi "should be primaried," and we "should be looking for new talent" and garbage like that, I truly have to wonder what their motives are. Because the GOP really wants her dead and gone.

Words like that should not be used by Democrats... Demsrule86 Jul 2017 #56

People are allowed to run for office...that is what Democracy is all about... Trial_By_Fire Jul 2017 #37
