OTOH, there is that pesky residence requirement. Apparently Roberts is such a tightwad with his own money that he won't rent a studio apartment or even a bedroom in Kansas. Not the first senator or congresscritter to do so and probably not the last.

Senator Roberts long has owned a home in Dodge City. It currently has a tenant; he also pays rent at a residence where he stays when he is in Dodge City. He pays Kansas state tax and property tax. There are those pesky facts.

Do you trust Pat Roberts to vote AGAINST Mitchie McConnell for party Senate leader and Cornyn as Whip? I don't. He is just another old bull satisfied as can be with lobbyist cash, the US Chambers of Crony Corruption and the status quo. If these guys have a razor thin majority diluted by all of the trash in their caucus, then we will hve to listen to Mitchie and the Weeper whining about how nothing can be expected of them because the soulless Wall Street and K Street Corrupticons don't have the White House. There will always be such excuses for inaction, laziness and subservience to the $$$$ crowd.

I used to pay property taxes in Florida but that did not make me eligible to run as a Floridian for the Senate. I used to rent a hotel room whenever I was there. Owning rental property does not qualify unless you reside in that property which Roberts does not. Although Roberts has a better voting record, this is Richard Lugar/Part II.

Time for a new senate nominee.The fewer years in DC, the less likely the corruption. How did Roberts vote on raising the debt ceiling on demand? For! Has Roberts aligned with McConnell or with Cruz? McConnell! I imagine he chipped in to help Thad Cockroach to pay Democrats to illegally vote in the runoff in MISSISSIPPI.
