we still have a Dem, what's your point?

I would really like Diane Feinstein to announce her retirement and anoint her own successor -- such as Adam Schiff. We already know his character from his terms in the House. I have no opinion on De Leon at all. The voters would still have the final word , but it would be nice if Schiff, Lieu, or one of our other outstanding and outspoken House members were to get a boost from her.

"Democrats for months have pointed to California as the driving force in the anti-Trump resistance movement. But according to 538’s "Trump score," which determines how often a member of Congress has voted with the president, Feinstein is the most out of step with her constituents of any Democratic senator."

"Although Feinstein has notably shifted toward the left of the Democratic caucus on issues involving the status of the "Dreamers," undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, de León's long-term support of immigrants was one of the biggest issues that propelled him ahead of Feinstein among party’s activists. Her harsh rhetoric about "illegal" immigration from the 1990s is currently being used by right-wingers in national campaigns against immigration reform."

"Calling himself "the president of the most progressive legislative house in America,” de León took a not-so-subtle dig at Feinstein’s troubled record on the most contentious issue of the Trump era, promising party activists over the weekend: “You’ll never have to guess where I stand."

I will not be surprised if she moves to the right if the race looks close to try to rile apathetic no horse in the race republicans to vote for her

is on fire...we could stop judges if we managed to get the Senate...spend the money flipping Red seats... not on replacing sitting Democrats. I don't give two fucks about taking a Senate seat held by a powerful Democrat..it is foolish and a waste of money. I hope he goes down in flames and is embarrassed. Even running shows a complete lack of judgement.

This is a statewide race.

If the race is looking close you don' think she might go after Deleon from the right.
I mean she just changed who views on legal marijuana, voted for Iraq, patriot act

I just don't trust her

good rebuttal to the piece with facts, really deep thoughts I see

status quo is not what we need now

there as a child and when I met him. It was a house seat...not a Senate seat...and I am not sure she wins in two years...very tough district. Had the race been held with the Cuomo's race...she would have lost in my opinion. I consider primarying Democrats foolish...when red seats could be flipped using that money ...but this year is is just reprehensible. I might have voted for De Leon nationally at some point...seems to have a bright future but I won't now...if he runs for president, I would not even consider him in a primary...feel the same about all who took on sitting Democrats in the age of Trump. We need to flip red seats not replace Democrats with another Democrat which does nothing to get us the house or the Senate.

Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court. She already voted again Neil Gorsuch.

Trump is going to nominate a pro lifer and Feinstein is as strong a supporter for womens reproductive rights, as there is

Hyperbole on my part I apologize

"he will force Feinstein to stand strong against Trump SC Nominee"

Why be so transparent? Is flying under the radar so difficult? Or are deception, false assumptions, and a complete detachment from reality a thing?

What exactly do people talking about "strength" or "spine" think the minority caucus can actually do here?
