9. The rot in our own party

These two are not our friends. Great OP!

I have never heard Richard Blum's name without the prefix of "war profiteer". I don't know what that's all about, but I've seen more than enough of his wife over the years, a big-money DINO. California deserves better.

It's a shame we can never mount a serious primary against a powerful senator like Feinstein. It would be a worthwhile fight.
