A royal pain... never mind.

Those bragging about it being a deep blue district and the GOP not having a shot are completely missing the point. This story was never about conyers, it's about getting the ball rolling on the 264 settlements and rocking the halls of Congress.

Did I read that right?

Conyers, 88 years old, endorses his crooked 27 YO “son”?

Uhhhh, ok. I guess give the old coot credit for having a kid about my sons age... lol

Wonder what # wifey he’s on these days.

No. The Conyers family is getting ready to start family feud. Conyers endorsed his son, his 27 year old nephew has said he also wants the job..... my guess, two cousins about to fight over the spoils of the old mans kingdom.....

So two people very close to what has gone down want in in the gravy train and are willing to tooth and nail to get on it.

At the percentage rate he was being re-elected, I seriously doubt anyone will come close to touching his son's chances. Don't be naïve enough to believe anyone in that district is actually voting based on policy.

#bydesign

Those two figure that it can't be that hard of a job if that old coot could do it and he ain't that smart.

His son that he wants to take over his ducal throne is now a slam dunk in that district. Street cred!
