They won't be any worse. Probably better. They'll be as effective as their constituents demand. Our basic problem is public complacency. Most don't even vote.

Every election then becomes a contest between a bad candidate and a worse candidate. The only rational approach is to support the least bad candidate, fully, and encourage him to outperform his reputation.
