Sure, he's a big ole @$$hole..

but he's better than Pence or Ryan. He was once respectable to some degree, now I wonder what happened to him. So I wouldn't be okay with it but if that's the only option then I guess I'd rather have that since I'd be really thrilled after the perp parade.

But you have to remember he's LDS so....

I think he was really good friends with Ted Kennedy too. But I also know that at one time he was pretty pedantic about the Constitution and the our government's role and responsibilities. Now that that is no longer the norm in DC, might now be the case anymore. He's got the same kind of "creepy" that Rmoney has.

I think it should be Hillary but I have to accept the best we can get considering what will come after the perp parade cause there are gonna be some big gaping holes in our legislative body and then some. I'm thinking like half the Senate and a good quarter of the House if not more and then the WH squatters...

My overall anxiety level will decrease exponentially the minute the perp parade is done and the alll charged are detained until court.

I like what this guy says and I hope it all comes to pass. After this shit show...I'd take Orin Hatch. He looks pretty good compared to the nightmare crowd in power now.

if those felons remain in place much longer, the only "election" in 2018 is gonna be like a putin election, and you know how that goes.

That orren hatch voted to confirm her for justice back in the day. She wasn't sure he would do the same if she was nominated now. I would agree. Republicans have lost their soul.

with election fraud methods has destroyed what little value that party ever had. The majority of Americans will eventually realize that, but it will probably take another Great Depression to wake up their idiot voters.
