Feinstein for a sixth term?

[Capperdan]

I will vote today and wonder if fresh ideas and a younger female is a better choice. I've always voted for Diane, and may again.

1. I hope she wins...we don't need a newbie who does not have an iota of the knowledge and power

of Dianne Feinstein.

5. I'm conflicted

One thing we haven't done a great job at is bringing in new leadership. But at the same time, we have been fortunate to have female leaders like Feinstein and constant large turnover is bad.

6. Capperdan, what's the record of her strongest opponent?

These are dangerous times, and Feinstein has extensive intelligence and national security experience. Whoever replaces her should be a really good choice, so good that he shouldn't be passed up, someone obviously capable of becoming a similarly outstanding senator among many.

Frankly, it'd take that person for me to also turn down the satisfaction of spitting in the eyes of those trying to use me to take out our best. After all, mediocre men can rise to leadership among their peers, mediocre women never. Not yet and probably not for a long, long time. Their attempts to weaponize misogyny against the very few who have make me want to more than spit.

8. while she's too conservative for me

she's won 5 terms so far and i have to give her kudos for releasing that testimony earlier this year or late last year on the Trump/Russia conspiracy.

9. I voted for her, as usual I know there are issues we don't agree on. she's got too much institution

knowledge to waste. I sincerely hope and have emailed the suggestion that she mentor some of the up and coming Democratic candidates in our state so we loose as little of her knowledge as we can.

Besides, I learned in high school never to bet against girls from Sacred Heart. ( local nod there).

10. Thank you for your replies

I will vote Feinstein again.
