Excellent Post!
That’s how Tom Daschle survived as long as he did in a conservative state like South Dakota.
He provided exceptional constituent services. He went back to the state a lot and most importantly, he remembered names of people.
In the small towns in West River, he remembered to ask (as an example) Tony, the town barber, how his mother was doing after her hip surgery.
People never forget that type of attention and it made them pay less attention to Daschle’s more obnoxious voting record.
In this instance, republican politicans have something to learn from Biden and Daschle.
