14. I'm calling Dems Heinreich and Udall who also joined the mob.

Dec 2017

Udall surprises me because he can think and speak for himself. He was also AG of the state. An atty, former AG, followed the herd for no due process!!!
Heinreich is more into glossy, smilling faced campaign brochers and playing the homecrowd. He votes right about 80pc of the time (I have told his office before, tell him to just vote w Udall), but he rarely speaks or takes a leadership role. Particularly, since we are a blue state, it is going to make it very hard for small businesses to start or make it under the Rebub tax "reform," not to mention all of the other things wrong with it. We are also a poor state, and it will make us poorer. Al Franken could analize this and explain it.

Better dispose of him fast, before he gets due process.
