But the Senators could invite the reporters into their offices, and the reporters can interview them there, or meet them on the steps.of the capitol. In any of these cases, the order would backfire on the Repubs.

...Democratic frames and words would dominate the headlines and evening news. It's usually the other way around.

I am just sick about the traitors taking over our government-every day is a new outrage. If the russian sympathizers do not stop, we are running out of choices--I don't think we can survive until 2018.

And Bloomberg's published an article stating that 39 states (39!) were hacked before, during, and after the election. So how can we have hope that the next election will save us?
