You will lose many votes next time you run.

I suspect that Mr. Cole’s ancestors would have been among the Tori’s who were perfectly fine kneeling @the feet of the Crown.

BTW, Mr. Cole,
The govt “SHUTS DOWN” every weekend & nat’l holiday:

In the event of a shutdown:
The military will still function, federal prisons will still keep bad guys locked up, veterans’ benefits and social security checks will still get processed.
“President Bill Clinton vetoed a CR and there was a funding gap for five days, only about 800,000 out of a total of 4.475 million federal employees were furloughed.
Only about 280,000 federal employees were furloughed during the December 1995 to January 1996 funding gap.”
H/T LN

Hmmmm…..Wasn’t Mr. Cole IN DC under Clinton & obviously he & we DID survive.
