He has been speaking out as much as anyone. And his interviews with Bernie have always been terrific, he does his homework and asks all the right questions!

We have a Rep who looks to Paul Ryan as a mentor. She runs into protests wherever she goes and, so far, seven Democrats - and one other Republican - have stepped up to run against her. Voters need to vote them out.

Wasn't he on the losing ticket back in 2012? Can't anyone remember that far back?

most people are so horribly informed, when faced with a number of names competing for the same spot on the ballot, they will often go with a name they have seen before.

tragic but there is a grain of truth in it
