I respected him. Sad day. He was a good Senator and a rational voice.

RIP. Sorry he didn’t live long enough to see his son win the Nevada Governorship next year (Adam Paul Laxalt).

He was a great Senator, I met him in Albuquerque about 30 years ago. I have a picture of him holding my youngest son when he was a baby.

Huh? Pete Domenici’s son has the Laxalt family name?

Yes. Illegitimate son with Sen. Paul Laxalt’s daughter. It wasn’t publicly acknowledged until 2013.

Prayers up for his loved ones.

The sorry array of worthless senators we have now make Domenici look very special.

Budget hawk his whole career.

Probably saw public debt hit $20 Trillion and it killed him.

US will be like Brazil in 15 years with diluted currency.
