She should retire completely

finally !! Long overdue.

Bye

Good. We need better TheDemocrats DNC HouseDemocrats SenateDems.

It's about damn time.

Good decision SenFeinstein

sydfeinsmith Wise move.

Instead she'll be the top Republican 😒

Who should replace her? I was thinking Sen. Cooney, but he is more military, intelligence type.

Don’t know much about her but she should really consider returning to private life. There comes a point at which u need to step aside & let the youngsters have a crack at it. Google Willie Mays; incredible ball player but stayed too long & it became painful to watch. So is this.

Very commendable of Senator Feinstein. How about Grassley?
