While you are technically correct, people look at congress and see Republicans, Democrats and Washington. What someone did for their district no one except that district cares. Its what they did for the nation that everyone sees and judges. That aside, how effective has Boehner been resisting Democrats when he had some healthy numbers? How the hell will be more effective now?
I don’t reference Boehner or anyone else in this point. Just that committee appointments can’t be pinned to something so irrelevant and arbitrary as how a whole state voted when House members are concerned.
