What has Rounds done to earn such ire besides having picked up a Democratic seat?

Be a Republican in this day and age in this Congress that'll do it alone. Any McConnell kow-tower by default is the worst unless a conservative segregationist or absurdly incompetent regardless of party is around.

Rounds is corrupt and McConnell kow-tower.


Also, even if Weiland won somehow, I would've picked him...2014 election there was just a bust any way besides Pressler.

Please read up on Mike Rounds' EB-5 scandal before commenting on this. Rounds is a greasy, corrupt politico who enabled state officials to abuse the program for their own financial gain. It got so bad that the federal government had to shut it down and one of the beneficiaries, Richard Benda, committed suicide rather than having to testify about it.

Pressler/McGovern

I didn't know Rounds was corrupt when I voted, though. I usually read up on these on Wikipedia, but this time I just clicked moderate/extremist.

McGovern's extremism is largely a myth.

Even I vote McGovern as the best.

Rounds is the worst.  He was first elected Governor in 2002 by looking like a "nice guy" but he's not.

Why is McGovern so beloved on the forum?  He seems like a pretty generic anti-Vietnam liberal.
