His bio sounds like he'd be fun to chat with.

But I question the judgement of anyone who'd point to incompetent and cowardly Trump alone.

Republicans in government have become so ideologically extreme and intensely corrupt, and the behaviors of a number of powerful people so bizarrely changed from what they once were, that I'm prepared to believe most are seriously vulnerable to blackmail and others are already serving handlers, some probably mostly willingly.

But the list of foreign and domestic enemies whose interests require keeping controllable and amenable Republicans in power, and Democrats out, has to be very long.
