It could be 10 more years before a Democrat has a shot.

If the ReThuglicans have ten more years to destroy the United States (and the rest of the world) politics as we know them (or think they should be) will be beside the point and that is assuming that there are even elections or a country (or even a human race other than a few survivors rummaging through the rubble).

And this will be voted on by incoming Democrats — not the outgoing caucus

I agree completely!

All true Democrats should vote against every Democrat who has ever even said anything nice about Joe Lieberman…

Good catch, Professor Foland, at 66 who says:
