Politico took a deep dive at the behind-the-scenes goings-on of Congress, and there were some definite interesting tidbits.

From Politico:

To get an inside look at what it’s like to serve on Capitol Hill — after years of gridlock, government shutdowns and now another Donald Trump stampede through Washington — we sat down with 25 lawmakers who were ready to dish.

We talked about what they hate and love about Congress, why it’s broken and how to fix it (one suggestion: bring back the powdered wigs). They also told us what would really shock the public if they knew the truth about life as a lawmaker (it’s what’s for dinner).

We had delicate conversations about aging lawmakers’ increasingly public deterioration (one member said he has up to a dozen colleagues who aren’t up to the job) and whether people are actually showing up drunk on the floor (it’s not a “no”), as well as the survival mechanisms that get them through a grueling day.

Hrm.

Half the women in America can relate.

The cameras are great for transparency but not so great for all the Congress critters who live to showboat.

That should be the question voters are asking themselves about the fossils who keep running.

The number is way higher than that.

Oh, there are young and old who fall into that category.

The public could probably guess.

There needs to be meaningful change after what happened with Biden. 

That much is certain.
