Final Reflection
US Senator Dianne Feinstein has very little to trot out to demonstrate accomplishments in Washington DC.
Why would she? It’s not as though she really had to work for the constituents of California, anyway. She defeated an incumbent, appointed Republican in 1992, then cruised to re-election in subsequent elections since then. She has never worried about a challenge from her Left, and the opposition on the right has been negligible at best.
A challenge from her left could become a real possibility in 2018, though, and judging by the ferocious temperament of progressive left–which has all but taken over the already uber-liberal California Democratic Party, Feinstein is worried about her chances.
If she wants to run on a record of accomplishment, however, she is already behind.
