16. It was glib

I am referring to the relative prestige they are conventionally ascribed, and to the House specifically. My government teacher in HS said it once in reference to the special little subway trolly senators get, that representatives don't go on. He said with a deadpan, "Representatives are a dime a dozen,"

It isn't my intention to be disrespectful. I think we have the potential to find meaningful opposition, I'm not sure where it will come from.
