like a conservatives back in the day. I think after it's all said and done, he and Liz Cheney will come out looking good. I think we'll see more of them. I'm kind of wary of them, especially Cheney, but I wouldn't feel like it was a disaster like Trump was.

6. Sad commentary on the GOP. If they are not psychotic, sociopaths, drug abusers they are OK.

But your point is taken. If you can have a normal conversation with a GOP member of congress, it is a good day.

Personally, he's a pretty nice guy, not some frothing maniac.
He's wrong about nearly everything, especially on economics.
Could he be reasoned with? Probably. Would he still vote against most good ideas? Probably.
I was in that district & talked with him a few times.
More reasonable for sure, but make no mistake. He's a conservative. 4

5. "like a conservatives back in the day." I think the term they used was "cloth coat" republicans.
