"This election year, we have a chance to change Congressand that change starts with replacing Mitch McConnell with a fresh, new, dynamic woman who will fight for America's families. That's why I went to Kentucky this past weekend, campaigning with Alison Lundergan Grimes."
<snip>
For me, this is personal. Just a couple weeks ago, Mitch McConnell blocked a bill I had introduced to let people refinance their student loans. This was just one way to help millions of people getting crushed by the burden of student loan debt, and once again Mitch McConnell's answer was no.
In fact, he led the charge to stop the bill in its tracks. Why? Because he didn't want to close tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires to pay for it.
After 30 years of gridlock and obstruction, Mitch McConnell doesn't get it. The job of a U.S. Senator isn't to fight for wealthy corporations and billionaires, it's to stand up for people who work hard, play by the rules, and just want a fair shot to succeed.
==============
I truly think Elizabeth would be a better candidate for Presidency than Hillary, simply because the right-wing has already started in on Hillary and nobody needs to go thru that again...least of all Hillary.

And so is Alison! Give Alison a few years in the Senate and she will be ready by the time Elizabeth's term is up. (I really think that two terms may be simply too hard on our presidents?)

I hope and pray it's her in 2016.
