Most Republicans have always been shielded by their wealth from the poor, blacks and hispanic people

That is why we need more people in our congress that come with military experience. In the military you learn to live with all kinds of people. You see the world in a very different way. The experience for most is a positive one toward society. The country was nicer when veterans filled our congress. Now we have weakling Republicans who talk tough but were probably never in a fight in their lives. Spoiled ignorant brats.
