Why would he. Cummings only spent every waking moment since the election trying to get Trump out of office. Good riddance to a jackass. He only presided over the most dangerous and worst run district in the US, increased his net worth by 500% in his 13 terms, and only had 2 kids out of wedlock while he was married. Yeah, a real hero... If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

26 years of 6 figure income and only increased his net worth 500%? He must have been paying a bunch in child support! As I've said, I didn't like him at all, but it is totally disingenuous to say he "presided over the most dangerous and worst run district in the US". As an elected representative to the US House of Representatives, you are involved in federal laws, not local. You can try and steer some funds your district's way, but it is the mayors and governors and state houses that run the roost and should take the blame. |

If it wasn't his district, who's was it. Of course it was his. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I thought you had better reading comprehension, but I guess I was wrong. Congressmen DO NOT PRESIDE OVER A DISTRICT. They REPRESENT their district in the House of Representatives. They have little to no authority to effect change in their own districts. |

Who told you that. "The process of constituents voting regularly and reaching out to their representatives helps these congresspersons better represent them. It is considered a given in representative democracies that representatives will seldom ignore the wishes of constituents, especially on salient issues that directly affect the district they represent." Of course they can make changes, that's why we elect them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

EB off the rails again and wrong. Some things never change National issues, I contact my congresswoman or Senator. Ric Scott, Marco Rubio or Kathy Castor Yo, vote for impeachment Local issues, I contact my Florida State rep or FL state senator. Janet Cruz or JW Grant Yo, thanks for that bike trail by my house.

One had a covered bus stop funded and ready to go until Louise Slaughter(D) killed it lest the Republican get credit. This was about 1999, but it happened. [NOTE: This was the Rochester area, not sure if the district is the same or not, but saying near enough.] The President is a fink. |

I was going to point out that same thing yesterday, but decided why bother. The Kool-Aid has completely destroyed their vision. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
