Hakeem Jeffries is a fine person. He is, however, ill suited for this moment. There is little fire and he has failed to pull his coalition together. Auction paddles at SOTU? Embarrassing.
Agreed, Barbara. Although I didn't watch it, I think the Dem seats in the chamber should have either been filled with a rousing chorus shouting "Lies!" at every opportunity, or left empty if they couldn't bring themselves to it. Their silence (for nearly 100% of the party) is deafening.
I like Hakeem Jeffries, and I think he speaks well. I also like Chris Murphy, Jamie Raskin and several others. I am looking forward to April 5th!

I would like to add Dan Goldman of NY to the list....
