Either that or he is badly misreading the room.

Take away the racism, the homophobia, the misogyny, the anti-immigrant hatred, the bald-faced lies, and there isn't much Republican electorate left.

after getting run out of the Indiana governorship didn't quite work out the way he thought, did it Mike. Damn near got him hung. Learn anything, Mike? Anything? Probably not. A pity he couldn't learn from Papen and Schleicher what it's like playing with political fire.

He had 5 years to do or say something right about it. He saw who Trump was hanging with, and encouraging, and making promises to. He witnessed the discussions in the White House of the terrible policies and knew many of the awful truths.

The only reason we're hearing from Mike now is his fantasy of achieving higher office.
