Paraphrasing: She says those are people who work serve with purpose and principles without fear of losing their jobs.

She said the Senate GOP is full of people who, on that basis, would never be candidate material.

I rail on here all the time about the need to find new talent and start shedding the gerontocracy in DC but I have to admit we'd be in real trouble without Nancy AND the Trump years would have been even worse had she and her depth of skills not been holding the line where it could be held.
