Re: 115th Congress - Fantastik! Try to remember we vote in November.
A good exercise is to figure out which Dem Congresscritters you've actually heard of and who've made a good impression. That presumably would be a good place to start for the next Speaker.
I know of Steny Hoyer for example as well as John Lewis. Hoyer is about Pelosi's age and Lewis while a Civil Rights legend must also be getting up there in years. So discount those two.
Schiff in CA and Elijah Cummings from MD have done a stellar job fighting GOP knucks in hearings and investigations. Cummings is pushing 70 but Schiff is only in his 50's.
From my home state Moulton and Kennedy have been pretty high profile. Kennedy is probably biding his time for a Senate seat to open up (both MA senators are in their 70's while he's in his 30's). Like how Moulton took down a thoroughly corrupt Dem congressman in a primary a few years ago.
Other than Tim Ryan can't think of anybody else that stands out.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin
