Yet another Democrat has announced an exit from politics as the party heads into a contentious midterm season. On Monday, Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy revealed he will not be running for re-election.
The Hill reports:
Leahy, 81, has already served eight terms in the upper chamber. He currently serves as the president pro tempore of the Senate, the second-highest ranking position in the chamber.
A Republican has not filed to launch a bid for Leahy’s seat. Meanwhile, a number of potential Democratic contenders have been floated, including Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.); Vermont Senate President Pro Tem Becca Balint (D); state Sen. Kesha Ram-Hinsdale (D); and Lt. Gov. Molly Gray (D). A woman has yet to represent Vermont on Capitol Hill.
goodbye you will not be missed,
I miss Trump.
Lying again Al? Troll who haunts the sights where conservatives post with such insulting comments about Trump. The troll who use to have another moniker until everyone blocked you. We miss Trump but you only miss him as a target for your posted insults. Upvotes for you on your comment are people who have not read the rest of your posts and plenty on conservative sites. Geez, you must be on the computer 24×7 for your daily bread from your donors of the DNC ilk!
I just hooked a nasty ugly fish.
I need to change my bait.
I wish you would just tell the truth. What I don’t understand Trump is gone.
He is gone because he didn’t get enough votes.
President Trump never left and he has his own platform called Trump train News!!!
Goodbye to a tremendous pain in the ass. You won’t be missed.
Time to get rid of everyone who will not kiss Trump’s ass.
you first you stupid bastard
I will not kiss it, it is simply crawling with disgusting MAGAAots.
Go away.
You mean like Trump
No power and a boatload of mouth.
Albert Hess, did you know that we have the right to have you arrested? It’s so easy to get your address and phone number. We are watching you!
Please please, don’t have me arrested, I have to take care of 87 year old mother.
She is pregnant with triplets.
If I don’t give her constant care we will lose our beautiful babies.
We are depending on them for more welfare and Food Stamps.
You have the right to be an idiot.
You can get my phone number, give me a call.
You can get my address, when will I be arrested?
Would it be easier if I just turned myself in?
Where should I do that?
The nearest Psych ward
Americafirst has the same right to arrest me as Trump has the right to arrest Hillary (he has her phone number and address).
Americafirst and Trump, a pair of weak pukes.
Americafirst has the right to lick the MAGAAots off of his daughter’s stink star.
But not the flavor morsels.
When will the cops be pounding on my door.
Or should I expect a civil defamation law suit?
Americafirst is a real knee slapper.
Delusions of grandeur.
You really don’t have a clue about President Trump. You sound like a bitter democrat since the senile Joe Biden was put to death about the same Time as Obama. They both comitted Treason and crimes against humaniyby raping and killingchildren.
Vermont would elect Stalin or Mao, so no republican need apply.
Judging by the article you are obviously right!
Judging by your comment you know nothing of Vermont.
My guess is that you have never been there.
Vermont has a three term Republican Governor, you ignorant jerk off.
Typical, Deplorable, Trump Humper.
you really are a foul person
But not foul enough to advocate grabbing girls by their pussies.
Maybe even Vermont has wised up and seen how the democrats are such failures! Let it go RED. That would be tremendous!!!!!
Ben & Jerry’s is spiking their ice cream with brain eating ingredients, worse than the vaccine even.
Vermont has wised up, Trump got 31% of the vote in 2020.
Voter fraud?
Even the old democrats are sick of their socialist agenda!! Read the constitution num heads !! Freedom works, it’s not cheap but it works !!🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is just the beginning. The old liberal guard will desert the sinking ship and leave it to the progressives and the squad to clean up. There will be confusion and BLM/Antifa will take to the streets burning everything as they go. However, I believe the Republic will prevail. If it doesn’t there is are only a few other warriors to stand in the face of anarchy and Global Domination. Poland and Hungary. The rest of Europe and Britain have allowed their countries to be taken over by Islam despite all the warnings.
Might this happen in Vermont? And you are right about EU but recently they have begun to feel the pain in their decisions. And we all know the mid eastern when they feel their numbers are sufficient will attack. EU has made this mistake repeatedly if you look at their history. But today we have made the mistake too.
The question is “how many of them will be replaced by RINOS ??At the present time we have a 3 party system :Democrats /GOP / & GOP lite > Just go to Liberty Score and review the voting records of ALL members of Congress instead of think there is a 2 party system >>>
The Democrats + Rinos are the clear majority.
Poland is very anti-abortion, Hungry too.
Why is Trump not in the White House?
Pence?
Notice how many of the persons who served in the military are running for Congress? They are angry about what Biden has done. They fought for this county’
About half of them are Democrats.
Like the rest of America.
Good riddance!!!!! Stay in Vermont and out of any type poliotics.
Patrick crossed the isle more times than another Democrat.
Patrick is in fact a DINO.
The chances of a Republican Senator from Vermont is slim to none.
Trump took only 31% of the vote in 2020.
Vermont has a three term Republican Governor.
Like Governor Baker from Massachusetts he refused to endorse Trump.
Given that something is in the water that infects otherwise normal people get the idea that socialism is a viable governmental policy when it’s never worked anywhere it’s tried. Of course being in a country that’s, at least somewhat capitalist, helps them to not suffer the full disaster of socialism.
In any society Socialism is not a question of if but of how much.
The US has been solidly Socialist ever since FDR signed the Social Security Act.
Do you think that it should be repealed?.
Socialism has worked very well in Scandinavia (blond hair and blue eyes)..
They have much less poverty, higher longevity, and much lower murder/crime rate than the US.
Have you ever been to Scandinavia to see how truly awful it is.
The full disaster of socialism…….
The poster child for Term Limits
We are a Democracy, we should be able to vote for any one who meets the minimum age requirement, without regard to their past political experience.
One limit I would like to explore is not allowing anyone to run for an office they hold.
Keep a semblance of amateurism in politics.
That can have problems, Trump was, and still is, an amateur.
The answer may be for Vermont and All the same type voters and States join a group of like minded States and form a Union to enable & promote their views . This could put the opposition in the same situation and we as people can stop being subjected to opposing groups on every subject !! We may continue to have “sheep ” but they will be in different locations ..>>
In Vermont, they like Democrats.
Look at there office holders, 3/4 Democrats.
What group should they join?
Is this the same State that elected Bernie Saunders as their other Senator?
Is this the same State that has one Representative, a Democrat?
Is this the same State that that has 3/4 Democrats in the State Legislature?
Is Patrick Leahy the Democrat who frequently crosses Isle?
That Patrick Leahy ?
Patrick Leahy is the devil you know.
The chances of a Republican Senator from Vermont is slim.
Trump took only 31% of the vote in VT in 2020.
But of course he actually took 68%, VT is rife with voter fraud……..
Leaky Leahy is a POS. Don’t let the door hit you in the arse on your way out. Glad to see you go!
He will be replaced by a Democrat.
Trump got 31% of the vote in VT in 2020.
I don’t think you understand the situation in Vermont. They shut down Vermont Yankee. They rely on hydro power from Canada and a mixture of FF’s. They are already paying very high electric rates. When they get their municipal utility bills before election next year, do you want to predict the reaction?
I think I understand the situation in Vermont.
Most of my family still lives there.
Vermonters made their decisions.
Their ethics Trumps their pocketbooks.
What is the fully burdened cost of of the power that was generated by Yankee?
The nuclear waste storage costs will go go on for a century.
Vermont has second lowest electric rates in the region.
You don’t know squat about Vermont
They find Trump MAGAAots to be disgusting. . .
They know what’s coming because they know Durham has everything on these corrupt democrats, their crimes against the people of this country, women and children for decades and of course their greed. Trump caught them ALL. Two days before leaving office he declassified all of it and handed it off to John Durham and his special investigation into ALL OF IT. As did the former director of the DNI, John Ratcliffe, gave him an additional 1,000 pages of classified documents. I’m NOT the least bit surprised either, there will be more resignation coming in quick succession, everyone from corrupt politicians to media personalities, to CEOs and CFO from corporate America. The writing is on the wall, they came to close to the iceberg and are abandoning the liberal democrats sinking Titanic. Save yourselves… abandon ship, abandon ship. Remember, we were told that none of these people can walk down the street without being harassed, hearing our rage and anger by the general public. That’s why two high profile Democrats are contemplating retirement… Nazi Piglosi and Jerry “no neck” Nader. There will be more coming. Also, the country is 85% awake now, more people wake up every day, as we are watching Biden destroy everything we care about, that’s these democrats all seem to approve of and what’s happening. So, he most likely would NOT have been reelected for another 6-year term; so, he’s cutting his loss now and avoiding his humiliation later.
Why doesn’t everyone on her write TT and tell them about Albert Hess vulgar, disgusting, sick, perverted comments and demand that Albert Hess be thrown off this comment section instead of responding to this diseased, evil Satan follower. Ignore Hess and write the publisher of TT.
Albert Hess uses the vulgar, disgusting, sick, perverted language that he sees others use on on TTN.
Dear Disgusted with Hess,
.
Like Trump, you are a weak puke, who can’t make anything happen.
.
.Up yours,
Albert Hess.
