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

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


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

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

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.
. He had to learn to cover his bald spot.

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.

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.

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?

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