Now, I'm no fan of Feinstein, but what he said was blatantly sexist.

(34,857 posts)It's certainly not going to endear him to a huge segment of the party's base (LGBT and women), especially since, for many, this could be their first impression of him.

(2,522 posts)It's definitely taking a shotgun and blasting off your foot, but an apology and the fact that the primaries are 2.5 years away helps. But only if he's sincere about it.

His comment on Cantor is actually less problematic among that crowd, but problematic nonetheless.

(2,522 posts)My biggest issue for 2016 is who's going to dismantle our overgrown surveillance state. Schweitzer sounded like someone on the right side of this. (Of course, I would have thought Obama, Pelosi, and Kerry would be too, so what do I know?)
