my god it can get worse

He’s an out of touch with reality idiot!

I'm a Democrat and believe Merkley is a good man, but I've met him and seen him speak in person. He literally sucks the energy out of a room and doesn't possess the persona to get us back into the WH

HE IS A JOKE! HE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OPINIONS AND THERE IS NO WAY WE WILL LET OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE!!! I HAVE VOTED RED ALL THE WAY AND ALWAYS WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

idiot

Why? He is not nationally known, like a Rubio or a Kasich. It would guarantee another term for the idiot who now occupies the Office,

I don't even know how he keeps getting elected to the office he has. He is worthless.

Merkley is waaay too far left. He talks big, produces nothing that makes Oregon better.

He is an idiot an just impressed with himself!

He is the most divisive Senator we have. He is a propaganda driven, progressive left politician that has no care for the real people he represents. Can't stand him. Sorry.

What's he done for Oregon?

While I like Merkley, he does not have the personality to run.

He's respectable, but still partisan and too far left.

This guy is the black hole of human emotion and he is trying to suck you dry if you're that stupid

Talk about an embarrassing thought . . .

He's ignorant of what the voters need in Oregon. So, no, he should not run. He does not have the expertise to even be a senator.
