i appreciate the historical perspective HCR brings to political discussion.

I appreciated both her comments on the cause, and Dems would not admit -- 1) bring to light certain issues (she notes in the video), and 2) stand up to Trump. The latter being politicking. I wish she offered a little less hyperbole early on with people being "blindsided" by the 8 Dems who joined the vote. The public reporting on this start late Wednesday night -- I even post same in "Shut Down" thread on Thursday. No one was shocked...or should have been. 

To that end, I think Angus King -- a politician I listen to a lot, as mentioned elsewhere -- has some good answers as he was one of the 8. A Katie Couric interview.
