74. Minority leader is a skilled job, not a messaging post

Mon Jul 31, 2017, 09:19 AM

Jul 2017

New voices can find public forums for their arguments on any issue.

If they have the skills to be effective minority leaders, they are free to make their case to the Democratic members of the house.

There is no requirement that they hide their lights under a bushel.
