Yes. It takes a certain "type" to be a professional politico.
Don't get me wrong. I'll bitch-slap a bitch, but working on the Hill sounds horrible. (from what I've heard on the grapevine, Jack Reed is the only coolio dude, regardless of what you think of his actual policies).
Idk, I've done two internships and now I'm a full-time staffer. Maybe it does take a certain kind of person to work here, but I've really enjoyed my experience and most of the members are actually pretty friendly one on one. Even Ted Cruz!
Though I will say I've mercifully never met MTG or Boebert.
