The ENTIRE Democratic leadership needs to go!

You won't win anything always reacting in fear to the Republicans say or do!

Conyers and Franken are out, but Trump, Moore, Farenthold, Barton, and others get to go on being upright pillars of the community in the eyes of the public?

THAT IS GROSS INCOMPETENCE at managing the public's perception of politics!

And we come down harder on our own. You can be sure there will be more of these accusations - Franken's resignation will only encourage them.

So what if they do? What will they do? They will look forward so the nation can heal. They will play nice, like they have for the past 40 years - go along to get along. That's my guess. Anyone who thinks the dems will magically turn into bulldogs & go after the GOP has not been paying attention. There are a few fighters, but only a few. And now we do this. In a battle for our goddamned country, we are eating our own, before questions are even asked. This is why I'm no longer a registered dem. I want a party that fights, not rolls over. I vote dem, but I haven't given money since 2012.

They are doing exactly what the Repukes want, and giving them Al Franken's scalp will only embolden them to go after more Dems. This is spinelessness in the extreme, and I can't/won't take it anymore. There is no longer any reason for me to support them.

It's all the Republicans do.
Everything is marketing with totally different agendas from what is presented out front.

Democrats just say what they want to do and often in legalize which doesn't inspire.
