considering his position as Senate leader. One would think he would do better, perhaps another sign of his inefficient leadership.

It is money taken over their career in Congress, McCain has been there for a very long time. Marco Rubio and Jodi Ernst are the most surprising as they haven't been in Congress that long.

Also people act like it's a bribe. Like the people who donated to HRC thought they were paying her to change her views to what they wanted. Most of the time, you donate to the candidate who already tends to support your views. We "get it" when it's our behavior, but others ... They're apparently corrupt to the core and act in completely foreign ways, who can understand them?

I guess my Texas senators aren't receiving the love of the NRA.

For many days in a row,
on ABC's 'The View',
she looked right into the camera and loudly said:

"I AM A PROUD MEMBER OF THE NRA !"

Thinking Rubio has been around a much shorter time than many of these men, so his per year amount would be interesting.
