I am sure this board could produce a very long list of reasons why I would be a terrible US Senator,

but let me mention just one: I could not bring myself to smile and refer to members of the traitorous "Stop the Steal" caucus as "my distinguished colleague".

I would not want to "work with" any of them.

I would refuse to "forgive and forget".

Not spitting on them would be the extent of my "civility".

I would, therefore,---seriously---be a terrible Senator.

I like the part about not spitting on them. That's a positive reason for your being a great senator!

If so, you, too, could be a US Senator. The bar is low when Republican voters cast their votes.
