'Wind bag': After decades of failed Dem policies, Rep. Cummings vows to 'make things better' in Baltimore

Last night, as Twitchy reported, Democratic Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings had a very bad night.

He was back again on the streets of Baltimore and met with slightly better success.

Thank you @RepCummings, community leaders, clergy and others for your leadership in #Baltimore. The curfew has started.

Cummings is making a lot of promises.

.@RepCummings on the streets of Baltimore as curfew approaches: "I'm not asking you to go home, I'm begging you. We need to keep the peace."

I have tremendous respect for @RepCummings . He needs a nobel peace prize, humanitarian award or something. He is BALTIMORE

Well, yes. He is a lifelong Baltimore resident who has been serving in elected offices since 1983.

@RepCummings @TheCNNnewz Epic failure of leadership. Unemployment greater than 50%. #Baltimore "Listening" is not enough.

Nails it:

3 Decades of @RepCummings ruining #Baltimore. Keep re-electing him. I'm sure he'll eventually stop screwing you over.

Sheriff David Clarke doesn’t mince words.

@evanmcmurry David Clarke on Hannity calls Elijah Cummings a "Wind bag".
