Can’t believe I actually voted for a Democrat. It must be the Holiday Season.

Dave’s thumb has the experience

Severin rocks the thumbs up off-camera, too, no matter where he is in that massive district.

A tie until I got to the last photo.

Pot calling kettle, I was the same. The last photo pushed it over the edge for him.

Dave Severin - the original House GOP thumbs upper. If they’re copying you, you’re winning!

Rich, this is peak Capitol Fax content. The coach v the phenom. Perfect.

This is Isabel’s post.

Thanks. Isabel is the new phenom. And I should read the bylines.

Severin has a massive district that her all over the place and listen even if does not agree with your position and tells you the truth about where he stands and will do thumbs up with those he does not agree with also.

Rep. Huyhn’s seems more thumby.

Comment by H-W Wednesday, Dec 13, 23 @ 12:06 pm
Has Huyn ever got a “Hey can we get one of those selfies with the thumbs up?” Rep Huyn may give a thumbs up in his pictures but Severin is (Southern Illinois) FAMOUS for it. Plus, I have one with the thumb so I’m biased.

Couldn’t vote. Looking at all those thumbs up pics gave me a flashback to Trumpelstiltscam and Beetle Bailey and it was just too traumatic.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, can we got a Huyhn/Severin combined thumbs up photo?

Whenever I see politicians doing the thumbs up picture, I think of Mike Braun’s killer ad from his Senate campaign showing his two opponents dressing alike and doing the thumbs up . https://www.politico.com/video/2018/04/30/mike-braun-for-indiana-ad-whats-the-difference-065956

Not to nitpick Isabel, but the selfie with Mayor Brandon is more of a Shaka sign

Comment by Jocko Wednesday, Dec 13, 23 @ 1:13 pm
I’m impressed that Severin’s flip phone takes such vivid pictures.

Comment by Michelle Flaherty Wednesday, Dec 13, 23 @ 2:09 pm
I’m sorry, but it’s Rep. Huynh and it’s not even close. Sure, Severin might have more experience, but when you got it you got it, and Huynh’s got IT.

Comment by First Wednesday, Dec 13, 23 @ 2:25 pm
Won’t ever again for for someone with a “R” after their name. That being said, Rep. Huynh’s confident smile in the last picture is a winner.

Comment by Huh? Wednesday, Dec 13, 23 @ 3:47 pm
I voted for Huynh. I just don’t see Severin being able to take a 4 person selfie and get his thumbs-up centered in the pic. That’s talent(bp)

Comment by Lurker Wednesday, Dec 13, 23 @ 4:53 pm
Politically, l agree with him on very little…but, let’s be honest, Rep Huynh knows how to work the camera here.
