"I can’t recall another freshman lawmaker who took office so completely lacking the trust and respect of his colleagues."Our representatives in Congress need the trust and respect of colleagues?  They have the trust and respect of their financial backers - the 0.1%.  In the case of Santos, someone gave him almost $700,000.  They will be expecting some returns for that.  Trust and Respect have not meant much for the last 50 years in Washington, DC.  There are plenty of disgraced former Congress Reps on K-Street making a pretty penny channeling the largess of their Corporate bosses to the ones in office.  All a person in Congress needs is his or her vote and nothing else.  K-Street takes care of the rest.
