Amazing!

Hahaha! His wife is way smarter and likely to be a cab secretary than he is.

If he and his wife are so brilliant, why is he a first term congressman at 57, and she's toiling anonymously in whatever it is she does?

2nd term Congressman. His wife was the Dep Sec of Treasury under Obama and a member of the Fed Reserve and is often named as a potential Sec Treasury under a Democratic administration.

DC power couple. Did she also go to GDS and Harvard?

He's beloved at home and somehow maintains excellent constituent services while kicking ass on the oversight & judiciary committees and among the top figures in the impeachment process. He is universally respected as a brilliant constitutional scholar and brings no BS. His takedowns of the Trump administration in these hearings have gone viral.

Also interesting is that he is one of the few that brings the progressive and the centrist or establishment wings of the Democratic Party together. He is friends with both Pelosi and AOC. Everybody loves him.

Most notably.... he learned to comb his hair.

Where do you think Jamie is headed? Could he be in the running for a leadership position...or more?

All of the other Maryland congressmen seem like backbenchers compared to him. Including Steny Hoyer, who at 80, should retire since he brings nothing to the table. I'm rooting for Jamie to do something big.

Sorry, Pelosi is not a centrist. She is more pragmatic than AOC and maybe a shade less left, but she is still very much a strongly liberal representative befitting her SF district.

After being one of the countries leading constitutional law scholars, Jamie entered public service in his 50s. There’s nothing wrong with that. His wife was a high level mover and shaker at the Department of the Treasury in the Obama administration. An uber-DC power couple.

True! I know someone who dated him in late 80s (didn't turn out well_/

He’s a NUTCASE, truly. Speaking from personal experience.

. He had to learn to cover his bald spot.

Whatever your thoughts on him, he is clearly a rising star — see today’s news, for example: https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2019/12/17/jerry-nadler-miss-impeachment-vote-family-emergency-086424

His high school alma mater is taking a victory lap. Raskin might be responsible for a spike in GDS applications next year!

No he’s not. Also speaking from personal experience.

Way too liberal. But, I can certainly understand why Nadler had a family emergency. Raskin is far more capable.
