There is so much passion here from Bennet, and just so MUCH more of Ted Cruz nt Baltimike Jan 2019 #9
I love his passion but the right is going to tear apart this speech Demonaut Jan 2019 #10

How I wish I could vote for Senator Bennet. Instead, I'll have to vote for whomever the Democrats nominate to run against the two rePuke maggots currently representing Georgia in the Senate. Thanks for posting this, joshcryer!

He gets flack from some on the left for being hyper centrist but Colorado is a mix of hyper conservative libertarian types in rural areas and super leftist types in the cities. He has to be centrist.

We have some passion, sincerity, and bold candor here. The polar opposite of what comes outta Mitch and the Donald's pie holes.

We need speeches like this a thousand-fold. Silence in indignity is no answer to what we know they are always going to do.

all they need is to point out mistakes..there is no "dark side" of the moon.

I know why he said what he said, I love Bennett.

Talking about the idea of taking land. I presumed the right attacking Bennett meant more than the righties in CO.

Michael Bennet is my Senator. He's very competent, and I've never regretted voting for him, but I've always regarded him as the wonk's wonk, a man who couldn't move a crowd if he promised them free beer. I've never been so happy to feel like an idiot.
