I do not understand the ARROGANCE of Roberts not establishing a Kansas residence once it came up. If it were my state, I’d still vote for Roberts, as a reliable conservative on many issues.
If we vote for him and he does not own property here, that sets a very dangerous precedent. Anyone from anywhere can sign up to be my representative. Ain’t happening.
Let’s extrapolate on this theme: If your Senator does not have to be from your state, does your President have to be from your country? Want to have a President from Qatar?
So what does it matter where he lives or how arrogant he is if everyone is going to vote for him anyway? Yeah, he's a reliable vote on a lot of issues, at least in election years. But he's also someone who doesn't give a hoot about his constituents and thinks that the office is not something he needs to earn every election. He's a conservative, usually. But he's also the personification of everything that people hate about the GOP establishment and professional politicians.
