EYE ON THE PRIZE: The clock is ticking and we should be focused on the 2018 election!

Where is the leadership on taking back Congress in 2018? That is our best way of fixing the mess the nation is currently in. If the Democrats had both Houses then there could be unhampered investigations of this Russian nonsense and Trump's conflicts of interest.

Plus, if we had the House of Representatives, then the Democratic Speaker of the House would take over when Trump and Pence were forced out.

We should be organizing now! Does anyone think there is a national sense of urgency in the Democratic Party?

Who should be leading the charge?

What we do here in NJ in June and November matters.

This is our year that will allow us to un-gerrymander several districts.

. . . in local offices in ALL states (village, town, city and county), because the talent bench starts from there.

Then I read the rest of the votes.

May I change to "all of the above".

I am a loyal citizen, in opposition to pRezident dRumpf and any GOP lemming.

We sure don't want Pence or Ryan. But, I do believe in the rule of law as happened with Agnew, Nixon, and Ford. Ford the minority leader.

Let's remember history. And, move on to 2018.

We NEED to be a group working with each other. It will not work if we do not do that.
