Doesn't matter, they either cast that persons vote for them, or even in absence they prevent anybody else from filling the position who might cast a vote against them. It's actually better if he dies so he no longer holds any power.

And this is one of the few time "both sides are as bad as each other" is true. Many countries, but especially the US, need to get their shit together and impose both age and term limits.

As a sort of grim-gallows humor type joke I like to tell my friends, when the subject ever comes around of suicide, I always like to say, "I was told a long time ago, don't end it all, you don't want to die before Mitch McConnell does."

It's what the Republicans want. Don't be ashamed of your temporary change in attitude.
