In reply to the discussion: Commentary: Maxine Waters deserves better from her party [View all]KPN
(15,646 posts)27. Great question. Many already don't, which is why
some didnt vote or registered protest votes in 2016. The reality is the people know who and what is working for them and who/what is not. As a party, we better wake up to this fact.
BTW, I like Nancy Pelosi for the most part. But she is way off on this one. She better start showing her moxie she has it and needs to use it. Schumer? He is not the right person at this time. In another time, a more collegial time, fine ... but not now.

This sort of shit is one of the reasons why the GOP has been allowed to become so extreme.

Good idea. I'll call her office on Monday. I'll also call Pelosi's and Schumer's.

It is good she has a voice and uses it, and speaks Direct, about what she has to say.

Schumer made the classic Dem mistake of accepting the RWs coded language talking points
