When you serve 18 terms (EIGHTEEN - think about that), you become so entrenched in the system that you can’t (or won’t) do shit.

She’s been a rep for 18 terms, since 1991, so 35 years. Expertise is one thing, but when you’re in a safe seat for that long, often running unopposed, there’s very little incentive to work against the status quo.
