I think that was the only way to get him out of government. I didn’t even realize he was in poor health. Link to Fox News Short article from my local news: “ Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings died early Thursday at Johns Hopkins Hospital due to complications from longstanding health challenges, his congressional office said. He was 68. A sharecropper's son, Cummings became the powerful chairman of a U.S. House committee that investigated President Donald Trump, and was a formidable orator who passionately advocated for the poor in his district that encompassed a large portion of Baltimore. As chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, Cummings led multiple investigations into Trump's governmental dealings. The investigations angered the president, who criticized the congressman's district in 2019 as a "rodent-infested mess" where "no human being would want to live." Cummings responded that government officials must stop making "hateful, incendiary comments" that only serve to divide and distract the nation from its real problems.” Link --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

I think you were correct. Now the question is will his replacement be worse (If that is possible)? | |||

I guess the reality of 4 more years of Trump put him over the edge. | |||

There is an inexhaustible supply of bloviating twits to replace him. Merely a bump in the road while the next one tees up. | |||

You've got that right. Maryland's 7th Congressional District is heavily gerrymandered and his replacement will only be better for lack of seniority and the privileges and attention that go with it. See here: MD 7th Congressional District -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

His wife is chair of the state Dem Party, so I won't be surprised if they treat it like a hereditary seat. | |||

i believe it was Mark Twain who said, I've never wished anyone dead, but I've read some obituaries with great pleasure. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

He was only 68?? I would have guessed him to be 78. I've only read "health complications" as what killed him. I'm curious as to what got him. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

Hopefully, Maxine will join him soon. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

This gave me a good laugh. In office for 25 years and his people are no better today than when he took office. Yeah, he was all about his people and a man of great convictions. | |||
