Adios Leaky Leahy! This is long long overdue. Vermonters should have retired him years ago.

Good ridden senator depends.

There is an outside chance that a Murkowski RINO type Republican could win this one. Vermont has elected those types on the state level in the past, and considering the current environment for Dems...
But, like I said, an outside chance... I'm putting no money on it.

I don’t think U.S. Senators care one way or the other. They are all members of the club and only play partisan for the cameras.

He will be replaced by a clone of Bernies....................

I remember him, and always will, when he gave a speech on the Senate floor while he was so drunk you could hardly understand a word he was saying.

True enough, but when you’re in the minority the power and the perks disappear, and the funding goes with them. Being a senate committee chairman is a very powerful position. Being just a member...especially a minority member.... of the committee, not so much.

I would have preferred a scandal involving a sex crime, blackface and lack of recycling... He is one of the nastier people in the Senate, which takes some doing.
