2. When you consider the crisis that Democracy is going through in America, to now

have a group of malcontents trying to sow dissension amongst the ranks of the Democratic Party, is reckless and infuriating. I hope Pelosi smashes them into the middle of next year. Even worse after the biggest Democratic House win in over 40 years !!!

3. This is the second time Moulton and Ryan

have pulled this crap. In fact, Moulton challenged her the first year he got elected! He thinks way too much of his own abilities and needs to be put in his place.

4. Yes, exactly ! Well funded Primary challengers for those two would be good a idea. I am drawn to the

comparison between those two and someone like Eric Swalwell, who entered the House at the same time as Moulton. Swalwell has put his head down and worked hard, and is now well placed for higher office when that opportunity arises.

6. Joe Lieberman and Nelson nuked the

the public option. Btw, Moulton and Ryan are involved in Lieberman’s group NoLabels. There was no way in hell Lieberman was gonna let the public option pass, no matter how hard Obama waved his magic unicorn wand.
