Elizabeth Warren’s Senate office for now: ‘the trailer’

8. Seen them, they aren't that bad...

Forgot who I had to lobby a few years back. None of us had been to the "trailers" and had images of high school.

Not so. They (at least back then) did a good job of spiffing up the situation and we were actually fairly impressed with what we saw.

But, it does not have the same cache of having a proper office in one of the 3 Senate offices buildings, even a basement address as some freshman senators get, that is accurate, if you care about those things. Some do. She probably could give a crap, but hey, her office IS a trailer, not 305 Hart, or whatever.

Office space is a big deal on the Hill. Stupid? Yes. Part of the seniority game? Yes.

There is a really old sociological book called "Tribes on the Hill" - recommended for anyone who wants to understand what goes on up there...
