Still reaching for that tired worn out song and dance "Trump hijacked the Rep party" excuse? Right, because you can't defend Joey. Nice try you left wing nut job, but Trump is no longer president. Yeah, Trump hijacked the party in one aspect only. This non-politician outsider kicked in the door of their clubhouse, took over and actually got shit done. You so quickly forgot the Republican animosity, and shock, created when this outsider was elected. Lest we forget the Republican Never -Trumpers, the vileness of people like MCCain and Romney. Most of these Rhinos actually believed, and some even hoped Trump colluded with the Russians. Did you forget that? Because of decades of politicians lies, broken promises, and corruption, Americans for decades have longed for a non- politician. But it was too late. Due to the pussification of half this country by you touchy-feely liberals so mired in feelings, emotions, and anti-Americanism, American exceptionalism and putting America first is no longer important. Under your guy Biden we now suck as a country, but that's Ok, at least we got rid of Trumps mean tweets.. Quote Continue on with your right wing crap...

I've spent several decades in and around politics politicians and of course lawyers which a LOT of our higher level Congressman are......comes in handy in dealing with laws and the political environment. A lot of the long timers and I've known quite a few are in two groups one that are just dedicated to being in public service and the second a group that like the benefits of that life. Term limits have cut into that quite a bit there.....I basically don't like them because if you get a good congressman or whatever he's in and looking for what he's going to do after his term runs out. Finances is a whole story into itself many candidates are successful lawyers before they ever run for office -but- regardless if you need TV ads and a campaign chairman and staff it costs a fortune to run and that's from local office on up. I've been a campaign chairman or co-chairman in races from board of education to councilman to judges to sheriff and even congressman. I've also had a few friends and relatives who were in elective offices. Do you know what a congressman makes ? What it costs him to have two residences ? And his family expences many barely break even or lose money while in Washington. Ask your local congressmen or women (House or Senate).

Lawyers or attorneys or whatever you want to call them are an unusual bunch......I used to golf with a group of them every Friday at 5 pm. And yes they are trained to know what is involved and what to do to win your case whether you're prosecuting or defending. Right now I live across the street from the Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor. Before I moved to Boardman I lived across the street from a Municipal court judge who was my one brother's godfather......no kidding, lifelong family friend. And term limits two sides to that coin there it used to be some great ones you know the names -but- some that just got into a position and nobody could vote them out. Take your pick who you want.

mjp28 Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Education...... the 111th group, a bit dated but a good example. The Congressional Research Service notes that the vast majority of Members (95 percent) had an academic degree: 168 Representatives and 57 Senators had a law degree. Of these, five (three Representative and two Senators) also hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) degree. 83 Representatives and 16 Senators earned a master's degree – often a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) – as their highest educational degree 27 Representatives and one Senator (Mark Begich)[18] have no educational degree beyond a high school diploma. 23 Representatives, & two Senators (Kyrsten Sinema & Ben Sasse) have a PhD 17 Representatives and three Senators have a medical degree (this number includes one Senator with a veterinary medicine degree and one Representative with a dental degree). Five Representatives (but no Senators) have an associate's degree as their highest degree. One House Member has a licensed practical nurse (L.P.N.) degree. Three Representatives (John Shimkus, Geoff Davis, Brett Guthrie) and one Senator (Jack Reed) are graduates of the United States Military Academy, while two Senators (John McCain, Jim Webb) and one Representative (Joe Sestak) are graduates of the United States Naval Academy. Three Senators (including Russ Feingold and Richard Lugar) and two Representatives (Jim Cooper and Jim Himes) were Rhodes Scholars, three Representatives (Tom Cole and Gabby Giffords) were Fulbright Scholars, and one Representative (John Spratt) was a Marshall Scholar. Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona is widely considered to be the most educated member of congress with a Bachelor's degree, a Master of Social Work, a Master of Business Administration, a law degree, & a PhD. Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska is a Harvard, Oxford, and Yale-educated intellectual holding advanced liberal arts degrees in American History.

Sixty-seven percent of House Members and 76% of Senators hold educational degrees beyond a bachelor’s.17 The CQ Member Profiles at the beginning of the 117th Congress indicate the following: 22 Members of the House have no educational degree beyond a high school diploma or GED; 5 Members of the House have associate’s degrees as their highest degrees; 108 Members of the House and 18 Senators earned a master’s degree as their highest attained degrees; 144 Members of the House (32.7% of the House) and 50 Senators (50% of the Senate) hold law degrees; 22 Representatives and 4 Senators have doctoral (Ph.D., D.Phil., Ed.D., or D. Min) degrees; 18 and 20 Members of the House and 5 Senators have medical degrees.19 By comparison, 35 years ago in the 100th Congress (1987-1988), 85.5% of House Members and 89% of Senators held bachelor’s degrees. Forty-five years ago, in the 95th Congress (1977-1978), 82.7% of House Members and 87% of Senators held bachelor’s degrees. Sixty years ago, in the 87th Congress (1961-1962), 76% of House Members and 76% of Senators held bachelor’s degrees.20 Three Representatives and one Senator are graduates of the U.S. Military Academy, five Representatives and one Senator graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, one Representative graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy, and one Senator graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Five Representatives and one Senator were Rhodes Scholars, two Representatives were Fulbright Scholars, two Representatives were Marshall Scholars, and two Representatives and one Senator were Truman Scholars.21 17 CQ, “117th Congress: Education,” at https://plus.cq.com/members/factfile/educatio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
