In our top-tier races for governor, Senate and Congress, a number of interesting themes have already emerged.

What ever happened to fighting the oligarchy?

This fight over Affordable Care Act subsidies shows that, far from being the sweeping solution Democrats portrayed it as, the Affordable Care Act was another patchwork fix.

We need leaders who can adapt, regardless of party or age. If that’s older candidates, fine. But let the electorate decide.

The party’s unnecessary redistricting efforts will only harden the already significant ideological divide in Washington.

The proposal has too much potential for abuse. Better enforcement of the laws we have and increased funding for mental health is the better way to go.

Voters need to cut through the noise and read the question, which is in no way backhanded. Opponents need to be honest about that fact.

Having failed to properly address the issue when it had the majority, the party should not be crying foul now.
