maybe not the leadership, but it's hard to see results when you aren't in power. Yes we have been bringing a knife to a gunfight for a while but some of them are getting it and doing whatever they can. But you have to be looking closely, and there is more happening behind the scenese than we know. Try listening to Sheldon Whitehouse on MSNBC, for example.
