Irrespective of his steady downward spiral as he's continued to rot away in his safe seat in the Senate, he'd still have been a better choice than Zero. Hell, Hillary would have been, but OTOH, she didn't learn from her experience running against Soetero, that she was unelectable. Despite being familiar, and counting on the feminazi vote, and being married (pro forma) to a, let's face it, very popular former President, she couldn't whip a sinister political neophyte, with no real experience, and a nebulous past filled with, at best, questionable associates and at least one odd lacuna, who'd previously traded on the *fact* that he was born in Kenya, and who'd never got any significant legislation passed, and who'd often voted "present".
he’s covering for his evil twin, HRC..
