Why on Earth would you degrade yourself for just another 6 years in the Senate.

Retire. Go enjoy your wealth. Hang out with your grandchildren. Or run for office without debasing yourself and let the chips fall where they may. Who cares?

It's the fact that people who absolutely do not NEED to grovel before Trump do it anyway that gets me. Why? Go enjoy life. You don't have to kiss this guy's disgusting ass. It's incredible.
