A 70 year old United States Senator from Hawaii is finally giving us what we need: Some in your face resistance to the GOP goon in chief and all his little acolyte goons.
Senator Hirono from Hawaii has been sticking it to the Republicans over their handling of Professor Ford's accusations about Judge Kavanaugh.
The problem for Mad Dog is, this Kavanaugh thing is a specious, trivial fight to pick.
But the response, the upwelling of exaltation from many Democratic quarters should tell us something.
Finally, someone who fights.
As Lincoln was said to have remarked when people brought tales of General Grant's drunkenness to him, "Tell me what brand of whiskey he drinks. I'll send a bottle to all the rest of my generals."
Here in New Hampshire we just got finished nominating a very tame, inoffensive, careful man to run for the open United States House of Representatives seat in the New Hampshire First. His name is Chris Pappas and he says he wants to reach across the aisle and work constructively with Republicans.
Good luck with that.
He says he is not going to Washington to start a food fight.
Good luck finding a foot fight. He will be bringing a feather to a knife fight.
He says he thinks his victory over more strident, more progressive Democrats is an endorsement of his rejection of simply being the loudest, the angriest man in the room.
The problem is, he hasn't won a real victory yet. He has to beat Eddie Edwards who is embracing Trump with both arms, a true believer in Trumpism.
Well, maybe New Hampshire is more polite and maybe New Hampshire voters are not angry but just looking for good government and clear minds.
We can always dream.
