That is the definition on any "Leadership" in the House or Senate.
It's about who can funnel the money from the big PACs, CoC etc., especially to the nondescript back benchers. In return they keep in line when the donors require it, and keep voting for the same "Leadership."
Generally, talking with a U.S. Congressman is a joke. Unless you are pulling their purse strings, they're just shining you on.
There are some good ones. Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Loren Bohbert come to mind. I think there are others. I don’t pay much attention to Congress lately.
I dont know. Carlos Gimenez is new to the game but I’ll believe him over most of the rest. The guy is first class, IMHO.
