Well, Lindsey comes from a very, very red state. But truth is he's pretty moderate. Throughout the country and the entire Senate, Lindsey has a lot of influence.
Also, I've seen video of some of those exchanges between the Senator and his constituents and he is a better Senator than I could ever be not to just roll his eyes and walk off the stage. The stuff people have been bold enough to say at these Town Hall meetings is....special.
There are deep divisions within the Republican party. Mostly, it's struggling to find itself again. It really needs to connect to its earliest roots. That said, I still think they'd vote a bill in quicker than the Democrats. I really believe that. I think the Dems don't have the identity crisis Republicans are having, but they worry too much on pleasing every single person in their party.
I don't think Republicans do that. They come to a rough consensus and then go for it.
