First term - make small important issue related stances but other than that shut up and let the elders have the limelight. That was especially the case when there were the "Lions of the Senate".

Hillary Obama and Franken did it. Kaine is mostly doing it now.
Rand Paul didn't and Ted Cruz rushed in in his normal ahole way.
