    The question of when to draw the line on a bad legislator in your caucus isn't easy. I was for dumping Ted Stevens. That gave us Obamacare.

        Ask yourself what proposals are, and are not, likely to come to a vote in the Senate with some chance of becoming law in our lifetimes.

        If you asked yourself 10 yrs ago whether Donald Trump was likely to run for President with some chance of winning, would you have said yes?

        I'd take democrats seriously about ethics or morals if they said anything about Senator from New Jersey who bathes in Medicare fraud cash

        Ideally Menendez should be in jail. He'll probably get away with it because SCOTUS (mostly GOP judges) makes prosecuting pols very hard.
