              I thought you were talking about Mike Pence. For a moment there I thought there was hope, but alas, it wasn’t to be.

                Not for Pence. Poor guy is a nonstarter.

                  Whether he’s a nonstarter is beside the point. He is genuine. I like that.

                    Indeed, among other things he appears to be among the isolationist faction of US politics.

                        Mike comes from the 4th Congressional District. That's Shreveport and West Louisiana. 61% vote for Trump, both races.

                        Mike may be more conservative than Jordan. Certainly, a lot more than McCarthy. He's not a media hog and if he succeeds, it will be behind the scenes.

                          Ukraine? Maybe not.

                            I hope that is only half true.

                            But I'm damn glad they got their ragged shit together and elected a breathing human.

                              What would “success” for Mike look like to you?
                              How would you know if Mike has succeeded?

                                The Delegate from the US Virgin Islands doesn't like Mike.

                                "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                  I'm sure she has lots of juice in Congress.

                                  USVI is so backwards they drive on the left in left hand drive cars.

                                    It’s not even appropriate to call her a colleague. She has no vote.

                                    A normal member’s legislative assistant has more power.

                                    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                                      I may be wrong, but I think she's been called the "ranking member" in committee meetings.

                                      She served as a manager during the Trump impeachment.

                                      If she can't vote and has no power, why is she even there other than to tick some checkboxes? Her insightful questioning of Taibbi and Schellenberger was an embarrassment.

                                        It’s a form a pseudo-representation. Puerto Rico and Guam have them too.

                                          Think of her and reps from Puerto Rico and Guam, as disenfranchised stakeholders.
