His brother has a lifetime of experience in politics and campaigns. It might be one thing to pluck a small alarm-company-owning neophyte and drop him into a Congressional seat. The Senate just seems too far a stretch. Also, what could be worse in terms of family/nepotism/name-based politics than making the same dynasty move of Kennedy’s successor?

CT should be in play, however, and it is frustrating that they don’t have a better candidate. I’d think some sort of successful CEO type could and should be persuaded to run.

The nepotism would be a fair critique, but what’s so challenging about being a US Senator that a small business owner couldn’t grasp?

For the first few years, use this guide:

Bill is an unconstitutional steaming turd? Vote Nay
Bill is a good thing for America? Vote Yea

After you get the hang of the place, introduce legislation that limits the size of the government.

If the clown in MN got a senate seat then why couldn’t
a responsible small alarm company neophyte get one?
