“Several of my colleagues who are in the top ranks have said to me, ‘You know, we don’t understand your part of the country.’ And they’re very genuine,” Kaptur said. “You can’t understand what you haven’t been a part of.”


And the sad thing is, that her colleagues from coastal liberal areas, DON’T WANT TO UNDERSTAND her part of the country. They don’t give a blank. These liberal/leftist types want to push global warming and other pet causes, and don’t care and don’t want to understand the issues of “middle America”.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) commented on the fact that Trump won Zapata County, in Texas, by a margin of 52–47 percent in 2020, while he lost that same county to Hilary Clinton in 2016 by a margin of 65–32 percent.

Bears repeating over and over again.

Sounds like she is at the point where she needs to have an HONEST conversation with herself about whether or not the Democrapt Party that she joined eons ago is the one that she belongs to today. Perhaps it is time for her to either resign her seat or move to the Republican side of the aisle?

Let’s see, if the R’s can land two of the three unfilled seats right now AND get 4 D’s to switch parties.

Oh, never mind.

Well, she has a lot to make up for. She has voted in lockstep as all D’s do and has cause great harm to this nation. It will take more than an Act of Contrition, 3 Our Fathers and 3 Hail Marys to make up for the damage she has done in her political career.

I’m not for term limits for elected representatives. Why? As bad as it may be, they are the ONLY choice you have.

How about term limits instead on government programs and GS15 bureaucrats?

People like John Brennan at CIA, James Comey or Andrew McCabe at FBI or Jerome Powell at Federal Reserve are permanent, life-long DC swamp creatures who have incredible power, as we have seen. Did any member of the public vote for them - ever??

It’s not like Biden has any voters to worry about.

So Marcy how many times have you voted for the policies that are destroying your communities?
All your life I would imagine.

Agreed.
The ‘mandarins’ in the bureaucracy are far more pernicious.

Diana in Wisconsin :" “They can’t understand a family that sticks together because that’s what they have.
Their loved ones are what they have, their little town, their home, as humble as it is—that’s what they have,” she added".

Kaptur , succinctly stated, is in the wrong party (!).
It is the Dim's and the BLM movement that wants to eliminate the nuclear family.
The urban environment is ideal for social alienation from immediate family and their influence.
When I grew up as a child,, my grandmother lived next door to my aunt and maternal great-grandmother, and they even shared a driveway.
That was how families bonded in their neighborhood; and neighbors were all known to each other, and were treated as 'courtesy aunts and uncles',
and all of their kids knew each other, and played well together.

And yet, I bet she would rather support the wishes of the democrat leadership than those of the people she represents in her own state.

The longest-serving woman in Congress, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio),

She keeps a very low profile. I have never heard of her.

How did her district vote for POTUS in ‘16 and ‘20? Maybe she should switch parties.

Thanks.
