80. Has nothing to do with age

SInema wasn't particularly old, but she damaged the party immensely. It is about putting the party in a position to speak AND ACT with a clear voice with programs that will make a real positive difference in peoples' lives.

The last time there was a big vision from the Dem Party was LBJ with the Great Society. The party has been back-pedaling -- and losing -- pretty much continuously from that point.

This is very definitely a party that needs shaken up. And you can start by getting rid of people like Schumer, Rich Neal, Cuello, Durbin and all the others who have done nothing helpful for decades.
