We can both keep dreaming, but I'm well aware this ain't happening. Through Schweitzer and JBE up on there.

Howard Dean is more libertarian than populist...

Justice seems like an ass and Warner is very 10 years ago, but this seems like a good list

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

I read about Justice the other day and he strikes me as not nearly as bad as his general profile would suggest. I could be wrong.

I asked this back during the Bush years: if we have two right-wing parties, what's the point?

Didn't we kinda have that in the 90s?

Yes, and look where it got us.

I wouldn't mind if the Democrats went socially right-wing, but, as Zell Miller said, we need a party to look out for the common man.

Even I like Collin Peterson, but that's because he's the most conservative elected democrat to either house of congress and gets a rating higher than many Republicans on the Heritage FOundation's scorecard. He gets over 40%- unheard of for a Democrat.

A good list. The Democratic Party should have a big tent. Not just for secret Communist-worshipers.

Yeah, I'd also prefer if the Democratic Party openly "worshipped" (a strange word choice, BTW) Communism.

Communism is horrible. My money is my money. Don't be jealous. Work and get jobs. Stop living off of taxpayers. Stop worshiping cop killers.

A big tent ranging from "Conservative Democrat" to "Moderate Republican"? No thanks.

I'm getting pretty sick of "The future of the Democratic Party is to cater to my specific political beliefs." talk.

well Peterson did win re-election despite his district going for Trump by 30 points, so I expect him to be pretty conservative.
