Mitt can work with Democrats. He's got baggage, sure....he's corporate vulture. But he's the best choice we can hope for.

McConnell will continue to be an asshole and the current marginalization of the GOP will coninue to spiral into oblivion.

The post-election question for the Republican Party has to be.....are they the Party of Trump or Eisenhower? If it's the latter, they need to start with someone who will work with Democrats to end this Trumpian disaster.
