"They voted against the wife of the Senate leader"

declared a guest on one of the morning shows. Don't remember which..

Well, having the wife of the turtle is a conflict of interest, as it has been when she was a lobbyist.

I think that the T said he did not want lobbyists on his campaign. Except, I suppose when it comes to leaders in Congress whom he thinks he may need.

I think that many members of Congress have spouses that are lobbyists. Sure they should be able to make a living but do they have to be lobbyists?
