Sweet... I like him by the way. He wasn’t supposed to win and will need help keeping that seat.

America could become great again if out of our 300 million people we could elect 535 congressmen with this level of common sense. Instead our nation prefer leaders like Shiela Jackson Lee, Charlie Rangel, Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein, Barack Obama, etc., and this man is going to have a hard time keeping his seat.

America would be great again if we had more than the arbitrarily defined 535 representatives.

If they were the same quality of leaders as the 535 we got I don’t see how that would help.

If there was one rep per 50,000 as at the founding, there would be thousands of congressman and they would be hard for the elite to control and do deals.

He’s been solid despite the venom thrown at him from both sides during the campaign. Better still he hasn’t allowed Boehner to push him around.

Excellent presentation, however the low information voter would say, he’s the president and he deserves a tricked out truck.
