Saltwind,
That is the damn problem with our nation. You have too many lawyers, too many idiots from Harvard and the philosophy that somehow you have to have a Phd to be a Senator or Congressman. When the dust settles, they do not know anymore then you and me. I will give you case and point. David Brat, from Virginia, who defeated a top knotch Republican who was worming his way to be Speaker of the House. He said he was going to do this and do that. At this point in his political career, he has not done anything worthwhile to stand out among the crowd. He was a professor of economics at Randolph Macon and has a doctorate in this field. He is just another, average politician that occupies time, space and history who likes to play it safe. I will take a person with good common sense who knows the issues, who is basically educated and loves his/her country. They are not on an ivory tower and know what is best for the nation not only on a local level, but the nation as a whole. I believe if some person, who is an independent, could challenge Brat for his seat and hit him hard on common sense issues, they could defeat this do-nothing ass sitter. We need patriots, people with guts, tough decision makers and men/women who are willing to put it out there. Brat has been nothing but a big disappointment. He was a flash in the pan.
