23. Jim Banks IN-3 is a true believer.

He thinks that this election showed that the country is totally behind the Trump agenda.

'In an interview with The Hill, Banks, a staunch Trump ally, said the president “taught us how to fight and win with an agenda that appeals to a popular base,” adding that House conservatives “must follow his example and carry the Trump message the next two years.” '

He was unanimously elected to chair the Republican Study Committee today. “I am honored to be chosen by my colleagues to lead the Republican Study Committee in the 117th Congress,” said Banks. “As the heart and soul of the conservative movement in the House, RSC is stronger than ever as we lead the fight for conservative values and push back against the radical socialist wing that controls the Democrat Party today. We will have our work cut out for us, but I won’t back down from the fight!”

He's a loon and a traitor, and I never fail to tell him that, but honestly, I'm swimming upstream here. Indiana is full of people like this. He gets re-elected with a 30 point margin. The reason Indiana is so red is because we're in hell.
