   That is true but they're also serving themselves at the same time, because   
   nobody's forcing them to be members of congress.

   They're hoping that the word "hospital" pulls at the heartstrings of idiots,   
   but this is a lure that's only going to catch the most ignorant fish. As soon   
   as the government opens back up, and the "rural hospitals" are still in   
   business, a few moderately intelligent people be scratching their heads.

   That's a good point though - he could fight to block federal funding to the   
   schools until they install TSA style metal detection. But trying to get a   
   Democrat to do this is like trying to turn a member of a gang against his own   
   gang.
