Feinstein gets snubbed by Democrat party. Loses endorsement for Senate.

New cannibals eat the elderly in the democrat party.

De Leon led the state Senate until earlier this year. He is the author of California’s sanctuary state law that was the target of a Trump administration lawsuit. A judge dismissed the case.

She is 85. That makes her what? 91-92 at the end of this term? She is not the only one but there comes a time to hang it up and it is past her time.

Long before he finally died, Robert Byrd couldn't even sign his own name.

Don’t forget Ol’ Strom. He was still in the Senate on his 100th birthday.

26 years is to long anyway. She's another example of why there should be term limits for House and Senate positions.

I'm sure no one will be sad to see anti 2nd amendment, "turn them all in" Feinstein go, but the left has gone insane so her replacement will likely be worse. The US doesn't need more sanctuary city supporters at all much less as elected officials.

The left has gone insane? From the right who have elected christian fundamentalist, who's views mirror the taliban on a lot of issues? Passing laws allowing the teaching of obscure christian fundamentalist religion in which the people believe the earth is flat & only 6,000 years old, that Adam & Eve walked with Dinosaurs.

It's fascinating to watch the Democrat party turn itself into the Anti-White Socialist party.

Feinstein is old, and many people are tired of the entrenched politician. However...


This is the DNC, not the people. This latest move makes it seem like they have no clue as to how, exactly, we came to have Trump as our president. By endorsing 'my family is illegal' De Leon, they are showing just how clueless they are. Or maybe they really think that the majority of Democrats are extremely left. After all, they gave us Perez and Ellis.

1. 3 years ago you had no idea what the DNC was.

2. The fact that you think the DNC has control over the state parties proves you still have no idea what it is.

How would you know? I voted straight Democrat for years and years, and still do when I think the candidate deserves to be elected.


The DNC endorsed De Leon. They had the option of staying out of this election, but they didn't do that now, did they? They can't control who wins, but if you think their endorsement means nothing, or the fact that they've elected Perez to head the organization doesn't signal a shift in what they expect from candidates if those candidates want the backing of the DNC, means you're the one with no idea.

The article is about the California Democratic Party endorsing de Leon, not the Democratic National Committee.

Those are 2 separate entities in an organizational pyramid where the DNC does not have a say in the actions of individual state parties.

Hence proving my point that you have no idea what you are talking about.
