He's a huge Trump ass licking moron. He's been in the senate for too long and needs to be sent packing.

With trump and other republicans , and helped cause this disaster from not convicting a career criminal who's undermining OUR Democracy. He's enabling even more widespread corruption , and allowing trump to allow putin to target service members , still. Corruption running wild from trump and these republicans now.
