If anything, watching these people in our government do what they do gives me hope that more people will feel encouraged to take up running for government office.
If that’s all it takes to get in the bar for entry is lower than any other 6 figure job in this country. All you need is a platform, a high school diploma or ged, and enough people to see the letter R or D next to your name and think that you’d do fine. Might even go the extra step for a name change. First name “Congressman”, last name can stay the same. I’m sure there are districts this would absolutely work in.
We are seeing the natural evolution of the tea party. If you can win by running to the right of your opponent, then your next opponent will run to the right of you. It's a gerrymandered death spiral and we are all just along for the ride.
