He has the same mentality as Trump in that he will never admit that he is wrong, wrong, wrong. That is the principle reason that he had virtually no support by his fellow senators. He has fed his followers with unreasonable expectations that would have the same track record as his dismal success in the congress. What a couple of post offices named and other shoe-in bills. I keep reminding those I have contact with that he proposed the same policies as Trump in regard to tariffs and trade agreements. He just doesn't seem to comprehend that manufactures are going to maximize the profits and when you can take advantage of significant lower labor costs that there is little to nothing that you can do about it except maybe boycotts and tariffs that will have the same effect that Trump's insanity has produced.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
