so their sugar daddies can fly them home on private jets, not that they bother to meet with constituents when they go home.

They hate Democratic majorites, because Democrats actually govern and have policies that need to be voted on 5 days a week.

Republicans hate that, the main reason they ran for office was so they didn't have to work that hard.
