Absolutely correct, even if she and Reid were caught eating live Kittens.

BTW, Boxer owes her career to perhaps one of the most corrupt politicians in California history, having started as an aide for John L. Burton.

Duncan Hunter Jr. should run in 2016 for the Senate. He's got name recognition, is a solid conservative, and could bring out the conservative vote in CA.

The only way to win blue hell-holes like CA is to run fearlessly as a conservative, and let the chips fall where they be.

Michael Brown’s mother would win in a landslide in California.

Nevada may be hope, but, California will find some other Bolshie. Maybe, Hitlery will move and take the seat from Moonbeam.

In addition whoever the democrat candidate is that person will be obama 3.0 they are all on record supporting obamacare, amnesty, tolerance of islam, and all of obama’s scandals and lawlessness, although they may deny, deny, deny the record stands; and if Cruz is candidate he will not let their denials go unchallenged.

From your lips to God's ear, especially the bitch deposed, but it will be a tough fight. Look for the return of little Markey Begich. He lost this year, but only by a few thousand votes. There is no "R for sure" here.

The only thing that keeps electing elderly Jewish women like Boxer and Feinstein is the extremely remote threat that someone with an R after their name might win a statewide race in Mexifornia.

Once that threat no longer exists, then the La Rasa crowd is going to demand one of their own, probably from the more populous southern part of the state. It is amazing that these two dumb broads have hung on this long.

In or out of office, the Obamas and Clintons will be around our necks for the next 20–30 years if the MSM has anything to say about it.

Feinstein presents as a reasonable moderate. Boxer presents as a bag lady who is as dumb as a box of rocks. Their successors will certainly be democRATS. Whether they will be hopeless whites like Garamendi or Newsom or hand selected Hispanics will have to wait for time to pass.

Yes, 2014 showed that any one named “McC” is a shoo-in. The American people know no better.

Your predictions are sound, but I think Mike Lee will have a big fight in UT, where “moderates” abound under rocks and crevices.

No no no. The day after the last election, Yahoo and other hack news distributors all over the internets were rife with articles ASSURING the public that Republicans were doooooomed in 2016.

Why anyone wants to stay in Congress more than one term, is beyond me.

Allow me 4 years of legal insider trading and you can vote for my replacement, for all I care.

And I promise never to get involved with politics during my term. I will just vote “Present” whenever my opinion is requested.

There comes a time to pack it in. A good leader would have spent some time grooming a successor. Why am I not seeing that here, from either the D’s or the R’s ?

There’s an incalculable vanity to being a Member of Congress that is hard to describe, and apparently, harder still to relinquish gracefully.

Doesn’t matter if Boxer retires or not. The idiots of Kaliforniastanmexicoillegalalienssafehavenhomoland will just vote in another or even worse if that is possible, like her.
