36. Get rid of Wasserman Schultz and Steve Israel
Sun Nov 9, 2014, 10:42 AM
Nov 2014

I posted last week that the dems need new leadership to take over the campaigns and the efforts to bring people out to vote in the mid-terms. Schultz and Israel don't cut it!! I certainly would think that a hard-nosed congressman like Alan Grayson and a Progressive Senator like Sherrod Brown would be a good duo to help dems get elected once again. Grayson certainly could counter all the Fix news people like Crybaby Wallace and the others who lie so much they should be called RUGS!!! Howard Dean and his 50 state initiative should be used again. I think we definitely need more than one candidate. Hillary is losing her charm and perhaps her likability is over rated. She's waiting too long to declare her aspirations for Commander-in-chief. Perhaps Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, even though he's an independent, would give us more life in the coming campaign. One thing for sure, the country did vote for PROGRESSIVE IDEAS and the dems need to pick up on that theme. So, let's get the e-mails and twitters and facebooks out to the dems who actually ran good campaigns and follow through with others in our party that will do the same. But, it all starts with good leadership. Something we don't have right now..
