We used to talk about “Inside the Beltway” and “Potomac fever”. I think that these terms describe the malady which Republican representatives get once they go to Washington. Too much socialization with the “wrong” people.
I think any time there is a vote, all representatives should be back in their home state in a public venue with all their constituents in attendance. They can send in their vote as a live video feed. I don’t think they would brazenly affront us as they have if we were within tomato throwing distance.
