Funny how former senator president surrounds himself with senator.
i do not remember who said it, but only former Governors are actually electable.
You could go down the last hundred years, and find very few Senators that went national and made it. Add to that....he barely did one full year as a Senator, before he went into campaign/primary mode. So he went from state senator with nothing of accomplishment to one year of Senator, and then went national. You couldn’t find another example of this unless you went back to Lincoln (non-Senator but he barely did any time as a Representative).
