Apparently he has some very not progressive policy positions (I'll have to look again to make sure I'm remembering what these are), the House AOC types have sold out already (because she and some like her have an agenda of moving into leadership), and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb are going nowhere.
The last time I remember Congress being functional was during the Reagan administrations. So if it ends up being a mess I won't be surprised.
He is a gifted politician though.
I don't feel sanguine.

Yeah it was really the rise of populist pressure from talk radio and cable news that changed the incentive structure for individual congressmen. And some of the earmark reforms of the 90s hurt too, whatever merits those reforms might have otherwise had.
Now add social media and it’s hopeless. Too many people view their congressional seat as something that can serve their career rather than viewing service in the institution an end in itself. It gives them a national platform to preen. You find it on both sides.

Data entry error showed incorrect results in race for Florida's 26th Congressional District, AP says - CBS Miami https://share.google/2LStdkuXcvKA6obXo
She "saw some numbers pop up".
And the election is reversed, in favor of the Republican, in Florida.
I don't know how many people are stupid and how stupid they are that CBS and Bari Weiss can get away with this S.
But pretty damn stupid.

This ad from Collom's campaign is a must watch... (short and to the point)
