As you might know, senators from Delaware commute each day to Washington DC from Wilmington. On the Acela Amtrak train it's about an hour each way. Biden did this and even former US Rep Mike Castle (R) did this - these 2 along with Tom Carper would actually ride the train together and talk about the issues along the way.

Now that Biden is VP and Castle is retired, we have Senator Chris Coons and Rep John Carney (both D). Chris is using his travel time for a new feature for the folks of Delaware - he's taking the questions asked by voters and replying via Video and he does it during his daily commute.

Here is one of the first ones he has done - I think it's a great idea, not only makes good use of the travel time but also takes advantage of technology too.

I would suspect if that witch was elected she would have abandoned Delaware to live in DC. She really has no desire to actually do anything for our state but expects us to give her a job. Forget that!!
