36. I often have that sentiment on these issues re:inner workings of the party

This time I am beginning to wonder if talking about new leadership may be a plus for Dems. Is it possible that we could bring out voters who otherwise would stay home because they perceive the party as ineffective? If Trump is working overtime to suppress the vote, could it be we need high a highly visible message that we will do things differently, starting with new leadership? Both parties have low approval ratings per every poll I have seen lately.

I don’t know the right answer, but I this has been on my mind.
