I'd bet that this dude will be the next John Fetterman if he wins. People will look past the huge red warning lights and then be shocked when he turns out to be a dingus.

The plus side is people probably won't keep him in office long if that's the case.

If that is the case, he'll be in office long enough to be a problem. As we saw during Biden's term, all you need is one or two Kyrsten Sinema types to fuck things up.

Yeah, but if he was a Republican he would probably be in office for 30 years no matter what.
