What comes next now that the Dem leaders have opened a Pandora's box

That only applies to Democrats? My guess is that they have just made opposition research easy for Republicans. They can start right now staking out the Facebook pages of the children of policitians and remove them from getting any opportunity to run for Democratic offices. I predict that some day in the future we will see this lamentable situation play out.

Hope she gives them the warnings that the climate has turned puritanical.

Saying EXACTLY this......in terms of our prospects in gaining one or both houses of Congress in 2018......we just majorly did and to ourselves. I mean, this is as stupid as stupid gets!

They just know how to hobble themselves. They remove the most effective leaders and then say, "we just need people who can work with the other side." Damn. And people wonder why we keep facing Naders and Sander type candidates in the primaries.
