#2 Old guard Democrats are going to bow out before the primaries. I believe they will let AOC and the socialists take over the party in time for the 2024 red wave. Hopefully that will be seen as a total repudiation of socialism in America.

#5 This guy was first elected to the Senate in 1974; I was in fifth grade when that happened. I wonder who they got lined up to replace him in the primaries?

#6 Once one of the nastiest, hyperpartisan asshats in elected office. Now hardly a blip on the radar. Progress!

#7 the Democrat most likely to seek the Senate seat is the US Representative for Vermont Peter Welsh who has been in politics for almost as long as Leahy and is in his mid 70s

#9 I don't think our Founders really meant 'elder' statesman would include those who in their time would have been physically dead for twenty years.

#10 Will be missed mostly by WaPo and NYT writers, who will soon have to rely on the FBI for their leaks.
