      Probably someone just as awful, for him to be giving up his position after all these years…

        Given the number of changes and replacements we’ve seen in the GOP recently, it’s pretty apparent that the last parts of the non-MAGA party left over from the Bush era are collapsing and being replaced with die hard Trumper’s.

        This is not good news in a two party system where a number of states are comport controlled and run by said party.

    *gulp*  
     
    …

    …and was then lead away.
