If they didn't do it before, I'm not optimistic that they would do so later. Sort of like the redistricting issue where I live -- it only becomes a priority when they are out of power and can't do anything about it. Had they acted sooner, we wouldn't be in the mess now. Perceived self-interest likely has a lot to do with it.

Me too; unfortunately I think Dems overshot the integrity goal when they dumped Al Franken. Fortunately he now has a weekly podcast which keeps him in the game. A brilliant and decent person, in my opinion.

You’re probably right. But I have a fresh sense that Dems are seeing “integrity” as a political weapon, if not a personal virtue. What a concept.
Can't it be both a virtue and a weapon? I see certain types of politicians flaunting their family values for both purposes.
The “family values” message of the GOP is similar, if only it was authentic.
I'm all for playing the integrity and honesty cards. It is the right move in my eyes. If enough people are willing to listen.

I'm all for it too, the problem is that too many people don't use their brains and so you get Menendez = Trump = They're all corrupt!
