That is truly amazing. I have never heard of anything like that. What's the district?

We've had a week or two to think it over. Mitch says it's Obama's fault he voted for the override.
Amazing isn't it that the one bill the Congress got together on is the stupidest thing they could have done.
Does Congress do anything positive? Anything? I can't think of one thing right now.
Obama at least was a decent President. Pretty much right on most things.

They'll adjourn sine die in December. That will be their greatest accomplishment.

Syracuse NY's district; I believe it's #24 now. We've had some re-districting, but I'm going based on location, as it's how my ballot is marked that my basis is. Definitely a battleground district.

Previously may have been, but not now. Although, I do recall there were talks of gerrymandering Ithaca into our district when Buerkle represented us, as that's about the time they were re-drawing the lines after the census.

I'd be a bit less annoyed if they had the stones to send a similar letter to the NFL offices.

So I'm reading this article and I was kind of disappointed by it. I think there are plenty of next gen leaders in the Democratic party, I think the real problem is the party isn't turning them into leaders. They're sidelined while the more senior members make the headlines. Klobuchar, Booker, Gillibrand, the Castro brothers, Ellison. The biggest problem is that all of their future leaders are from Congress. There are five Democratic governors born after 1/1/1960. Kate Brown, John Markell, Steve Bullock, John Bel Edwards, and Gina Raimondo. I've heard of one of them. What the hell is that?
If the Democrats want to start fostering that next generation, it's time for the current party leaders to step aside as the sponsors of a bill and let the next generation take the reins in pushing bills through. Let them start to be the surrogates that announce major efforts. The more senior members like Schumer and Durbin should be mentoring them instead of looking to get re-elected or get a tan in the spotlight. The Republicans have been doing it well for about a decade now. Everyone knows the names of Ryan, Scott, Cotton, Walker, Rubio, Haley, Chaffetz. Liberals may hate them, but they know their names. It's a problem when you can more readily identify the future leaders of another party than your own. And that's the fault of the party leadership.

I think that's a little from column A and a little from column B. Rubio only looks like a kid in Menudo.

Re: The 114th Congress: Two More Years!
This is a consequence of The Coronation. Everybody cleared the dance floor for Hillary and the Clintonistas, who are older than dirt, dominated the behind the scenes of the party. Their agenda wasn't to promote youth, that's for sure.
Young Turks have never been given power, they have to seize it. If there are people in that group strong enough to rise and forge a like-minded, like-aged cadre, they will. The next two years are going to be the qualifying round and everybody is already in motion.
I said somewhere else that nobody currently over the age of 55 should speak in public for the Democrats. We need to "green the party," as the corporate eels say.
We may have caught a huge break on 11/8. It depends what we do now.

I wonder. Dems are ruthless and walk the talk. The GOP trips over their own two feet every time the get the gavel.

Re: The 114th Congress: Two More Years!
Everybody always thinks their own side is pulling their punches. I have conservative friends who think Cruz was too soft on the opposition. What did they want -- him to spray actual bullets around the chamber to improve the vote totals?
Until recently the Democrats were the Mr. Magoo of Congress, blissfully trying to find compromise and getting run over by the GOP, who were the Terminator. While it might have changed, I'll believe it when the Dems start holding the government hostage.
