B.S. Alan could represent any state in the union ten thousand times better than any Democrat.

You show your ignorance of how things work. All the Senators live in DC, duh.

And a goodly portion of them haven't owned a home in their 'home state' for years.

The funniest part is that I have seen many try and make this a campaign issue, to absolutely no avail. The voters could care less. It's nothing but partisan insider baseball.

BS, the residency requirement is there for a reason. Non-residents CANNOT effectively represent a state.

Yeah all Senators live in the DC area (usually not DC proper, DC proper is a hellhole), AFTER they get elected. First they live in the state they represent for a while, a few years at least.

True, and that's not a good thing. Part of the problem with having government service pay well enough to have career politicians, something the founders adviced against.

Given the polls it sure looks like a campaign issue to me, he's losing badly, htis has to play into that at least some.
