In one or two election cycles, a new kind of Democrat will come to fill these seats being vacated by crusty old Democrats. A new, extra nasty kind of Democrat who is Marxist and soulless.
What we are watching is a purge of the ‘gentle’ Democrat.
I think that would be a great development. At least lift the facade of the “gentle” Democrat who is a Quesling for the likes of Pelosi and Reid. Whom in turn give the Quesling enough cover in the run up to the election to claim they are independent.
