between now and election day. Yeah, I know, that's asking a lot and that's a lot of prominent Republicans, but that'd sure be a nice rub.

Maybe it was a deliberate choice on Kasich's part not to telegraph the identity of the person by clarifying the actual branch.

so if the report is that it's a congressman, not him.

I think that it's most likely someone like Hurd. Or someone who is retiring and sick of this shit.

It would be nice if some GOP senators would step up to the plate and assist in saving our democracy!

I also think it's someone that would surprise many people and Hurd wouldn't be a big surprise at least to me.
