I second that, What is a McCotter? I’ve never heard of the guy or girl.
Take Ronald Reagan and strip away his charisma, but add on about 20 IQ points as compensation. Keep the solid conservatism coupled with the ability to appeal to hard hats, and the sense of humor, but delivered in a much drier fashion and you’d have Thaddeus McCotter. I absolutely LOVE the guy.
