Hogg is channeling the frustration many in "the base" feel about the ineffectiveness of Congressional Democrats. Fact check: the Democrats are in the minority in both chambers.

Hogg is channeling the frustration many in "the base" feel about the ineffectiveness of Congressional Democrats. Fact check: the Democrats are in the minority in both chambers. Perhaps, just perhaps, that's the reason the Democrats are "ineffective" ... wait for it ... THEY HAVE NO POWER in D.C. The best they can hope for is that fissures emerge in the Republican caucus when the budget bill reaches the floor for a vote, then the Dems, then, if they remain unified, they can flex. While I have full sympathy for those who want a younger generation to attain office in D.C. there's a reason why some of the codger-geezers win election after election, they know their districts and THEY KNOW HOW TO WIN in their districts. Right now winning to take back the House and close the gap in the Senate is THE PRIORITY for Democrats. Remember the Republican Tea Party insurgents of a decade ago? They primaried, they ran and they LOST, thus preserving Democratic power in Congress. Let's hope that Hogg isn't leading Democrats down an identical primrose path.
