57. Hope you're right. Not just in case to avoid disaster

Nov 2022

but because since she's there I won't give up hope she could be the person I once thought she might be. She's no clueless kid, though -- she's 48! What we've seen might well indicate the limits of her ability. Or be a stumbling beginning to a great career that ends with her being carried out 50 years later at 98.

I think she'd be great as President. So, yes. LakeArenal Nov 2022 #1
She'd be a great Senator. Elessar Zappa Nov 2022 #2

A thousand times - YES!!! A Brand New World Nov 2022 #11
Porter should definitely primary DiFi in 2024. Nt Fiendish Thingy Nov 2022 #12
So we're planning to primary Democratic leaders now? AZSkiffyGeek Nov 2022 #18
Just the ones that hug Lyin ted cruz FoxNewsSucks Nov 2022 #23
I don't consider DiFi to be a leader Fiendish Thingy Nov 2022 #42
But, do you consider commitment to the majority decisions Hortensis Nov 2022 #55
Katie Porter's work serves as sufficient vetting for me. Fiendish Thingy Nov 2022 #56
Hope you're right. Not just in case to avoid disaster Hortensis Nov 2022 #57
That would be a great idea. Autumn Nov 2022 #19
Porter, Schiff and Swalwell Deep State Witch Nov 2022 #13
I wouldn't categorize Schiff and Swallwell ideologically with Porter. Hortensis Nov 2022 #49
I'm just saying Deep State Witch Nov 2022 #53

Karen Bass may be available. beaglelover Nov 2022 #25

Assuming Feinstein serves until 2024/5 (the end of her term) the voters will decide Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #29
She'd have my vote, enthusiastically. MoonchildCA Nov 2022 #21
this is a response to #17, above. Feinstein did file with the FEC to run in 2024 RockCreek Nov 2022 #22
Filing is a technicality to keep her campaign committee active. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #30
Thank you for those details. N/t. RockCreek Nov 2022 #31
You are quite welcome. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #34

Porter is one of the smartest and most effective communicators for the Democratic Party. Caliman73 Nov 2022 #27
I'd be supportive Sympthsical Nov 2022 #28
Had she retired in 2018, we'd have Senator De Leon right now. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #33
I don't think that's true Sympthsical Nov 2022 #36
You make a fair argument. It is possible that another heavyweight challenger may have emerged Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #38
He had "not Feinstein" support Sympthsical Nov 2022 #40
"Activists" in California's Democratic Central Committee gave De Leon the party's endorsement Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #41
Right, I'd forgotten that Sympthsical Nov 2022 #43
Nancy Pelosi changed my opinion on that. RockCreek Nov 2022 #45
A counter-argument, and one that I align with, is that incumbents have institutional memory Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #47

There was a highly unfortunate audio recording that was recently released Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #39
Same here. Listened to the whole thing hoping, even sorta expecting, Hortensis Nov 2022 #51
I ask why has that not happened yet? In It to Win It Nov 2022 #32
