And I'm kind of tired of the old guard like Nancy and others thinking they get to put their finger on the scale. How about they let the voters make their own choice, then support whoever emerges as the candidate in the general?

Yet another reason some of these people who have been in their positions for too long need to be removed to make way for new, younger voices.
