So it is confirmed that they are all, in fact, bad.

So all are shit-sacks but emmer occasionally tries to be decent at least? Still voted against some things that no sane person should reject but at least voted in favor of a few good things that his fellow republicans did not

I mean, he represents a fairly conservative section of Minnesota, but it's still Minnesota. He needs to appear to be bridging the divide.

And I'm sure he colluded on those votes to make sure they didn't tip the scales. Lots of 'neutral' politicians do that so come election time their opponents have less ammunition.

But yes, the least rotten apple of the bunch, by this measure.

The fact only one of them voted ‘yes’ to codifying same sex marriage and interracial marriage.

Emmer even represents Michelle Bachman's old district too. The fact that he isn't even considered conservative enough for Republicans nowadays is shocking. Well, not that shocking I guess.

Like sure, you told women, children, and veterans to get bent we like that. But you gave interracial marriage a pass and thought pregnant people might need some time off work? Too liberal.

Infographic designers to the colorblind:

Just see harder

I'm sure they'd vote against a bill for colorblind people too.

They all follow orders from leadership. Getting elected is the price of admission, then you have to play by the rules or you lose your corporate funding and insider trading tips.

And Johnson is the front runner.

Obstructionism.
