“Does it mean that he envisions his remaining career as a lion of the Senate, casting the tie-breaking votes or threatening to do so and thus”

There is a sea change coming, maybe not yet, maybe not for 3 or 4 more administrations and I could only guess at what specifically suffers the most or suffers the least. Plus the whole dynamic of natural occurring events which would impact societies to the core, or at least a loss of appendages. IOW nobody really knows. FDR said it... “Nothing in politics happens, without a reason”, no truer words were ever spoken. Will Rogers said it too, “we got the best congress money can buy.”

“Oh nooooo.... Mister Bill, what should we do!!!”

Readiness and planning.
Maybe putting off an endeavor or perhaps changing a decision to move to an area which increases any risk to your present living/wellness situation.

Politicians should have regard for our well being, but they are constantly bickering and using fraudulent polls to justify decisions that probably go beyond their constituents wishes... but politicians do not care, they want what’s in it for themselves. Some will make money in the wake... good for them. But politicians invest in their legislative wrangling, there is money and gimme’s to be had.

Politicians are very conniving.

Name one thing that has a politician attached to it that doesn’t have an ulterior motive? From rubber baby bumpers to extended wars... the political motive is investment portfolio’s and gettin’ in early for increased capital gains.
Or stay in long enuff for the congressional pension plan, finish the term and become a lobbyist! It ain’t just the swamp, it’s the sewers too!
