    The point of principles is to help you make practical decisions when convenience compels you to make impractical ones.

        And if everyone in the house voted only in line with their principles - nothing would change because nothing would pass.

        Of course legislation would pass. I vote according to principles, and I still vote yes most of the time.

        Non-controversial legislation probably true - tougher issues involves compromising principles, give and take #governing

        Actually, the suspension votes (generally considered most noncontroversial) are the ones where I often break from both parties.

        And that's why should you ever decide to run for President, you will already have my vote. Congress needs more principled members like you.

        Not new. I suggested state-triggered repeal/replace. HFC introduced two plans: Sanford & Jordan. And HFC presented an amdt to the GOP bill.

        Yes a"libertarian"but when you are blinded to practicality by ideology you need to revisit your purpose. In this case best for public

        For starters, bombardment of fake news that people believed. They still believe the ridiculous stories that have long been debunked.
