4. He had a good conversation with the president

That's where he lost me.

First, Trump doesn't understand his job to any level of depth.

Second, the purpose of a good conversation with Trump is to tell him what he wants to hear.

Then again, if he thinks he has secured a vote for his SCOTUS nominee, he could smile and nod and act engaged when all he's really thinking about is getting back to his living quarters and chowing down on his nightly Quarter Pounders with Cheese, fries, and apple pies.

And Donnelly's in danger, so I'll just say... coming from Donnelly this is about as good as it's going to get.

We need to try to help him hang on to his seat.

16. Not sure what you mean by that

My embarrassment will not bring anyone to office. My embarrassment is that Indiana cannot produce a decent Democrat to hold public office. My embarrassment is that I am forced to vote for weak candidates. My embarrassment is that an Indiana Democrat, representing me, seems likely to side with Republican traitors.

I don't see how that relates to Braun...
