    Just once I would like to have a Republican senator running on an ultra-conservative platform get elected and the reveal they are secretly an ultra-progressive.

      I really don’t understand what’s happened to him, he seemed like a decent guy when Biden got elected and now he’s insanely MAGA all of a sudden? I thought he had morals and decency, guess I thought wrong. Almost no politician has those.

        I really think it’s the stroke, it was pretty immediately after that when he went full MAGAt

        Nothing. He’s always been a bullyish jerk. The national media never covered it. And his opponent was objectively worse.

    Fucking hell — I won’t mind if the guy gets another stroke and we can actually get a decent candidate at this point.
