over and over. His presence in Congress is always a breath of air. It is so rare to actually feel represented by a Congressperson.
he is of the people, by the people, and for the people.

That is a major avantage the Republicans have had, and with him in our corner and able to get air time now that he has been reelected, we should be able to float more such memes.

He has to be the most sensible, smart member of Congress. Bar none.
