I disagree that his presidential dreams are over. He is so stupid he probably doesn't realize an individual with a shred of decency would apologize and resign from the Senate. He is also so stupid he doesn't realize that no decent person will vote for him.
But he is smart enough to realize most Democrats--and I am a recovering conservative Democrat--don't vote for decent, honorable men and women. That went out of favor with Democrats in the 1970s.
True. And it's true, too, that the dems will continue to hobble defense, intelligence, the economy, and the culture of red America. Are we nearer to civil war?
