36. Absolutely. He is quiet compared to what we have now, but he is consistently level and sane.

I think he looks at the entire picture and doesn't make decisions on the run like Trump. It has been a short period of time Trump has been in office, but it has been a period of constant chaos. I don't see anything near that from Schiff.

He has also been up front about calling out Nunes and his cohorts when they are trying to cover up anything derogatory toward Trump. Schiff is dogged in getting the information whether they like it or not. I think the Democrats on that committee also agree with and follow Schiff closely and look up to him.

He would be a welcome contrast and one that we deserve.
