A bit of bigotry and misinformation in this.

(63,221 posts)I'm sure we could go through each red state and each republican congressional district and find pockets of grinding poverty and desperation. Poverty is a problem nationwide, but with the exception of DC, the top most impoverished states are almost all red states.

Oh yeah, he already did that once. Gotta wait another couple years for him to work up enough shits to give them another two minutes of his time.

(63,221 posts)How this bastard manages to stay in office is a mystery to me. I would even settle for another republican, just ANYBODY but him.

(17,984 posts)Who cares? Certainly not Mitch!
I really want to see some more feedback from those people who went to visit him. I want outrage! Sadly, I think they are too stuck on "R" to understand how terrible he is.

(63,221 posts)can't do anything for him so he doesn't give a damn about them. He's such an evil bastard. I compare this situation to how Jon Stewart lobbied for the 9/11 first responders, even though he's not an elected politician, and what an amazing difference between a man who genuinely cares about other human beings and one who could give a damn.
It makes me sick. I can't even say what I wish Mitch's fate to be or I'd be banned for life. I actually think he's almost worse than Trump, which is really saying something.
