Please, Democratic leaders, don't let Tom Carper do national interviews again.

He's being interviewed MSNBC, and is stuttering and stammering through a poorly thought out explication of the Better Whatever plan. It sounds like more of the same old pablum delivered in the same old boring way by the same old kind of wussy Dem. He's a fine Senator but he's terrible as a spokesman.

Schiff is wonderful & even more so, now that he's gotten under the Con's skin.

I don't know if they just aren't invited to the talk shows, but they are Congress! Call the networks & demand equal time. And start putting some of our younger people on consistently, so come 2020, when they are candidates for president, the nation has seen & heard them. The dems seem to be clueless in this aspect.

he sure looks & sounds good (vibrant & articulate) after old Carper and similar others.
