Somewhere in what’s left of his brain is the thought of a bit of immortality as the final Senate vote needed to convict an impeached Trump. That’s consistent with his self image.
Yes.
We went thru this not long ago , when Senator Dan Inouye died in office . The Governor ( Abercrombie ) had to appoint his replacement . Inouye , on his death bed , asked that Colleen Hanabusa ( currently HI-CD-1 Rep) to replace him . Abercrombie refused and appointed his own rookie Lt. Gov ( Brian Schatz ) who then went on to win a close special election and that’s the knucklehead we have to this day . Inouye’s ghost , and the entirely pee’d off Hawaii Democrat ‘old boy’ crowd had their revenge a year later when they were able to get a nobody to ‘primary’ Abercrombie out of office . Something that had never happened to an incumbent Hawaii Gov before . Abercrombie is gone and we now Senator Knucklehead and Governor Nobody . Both of whom avidly support the challenges to the travel ban of people from terrorist countries
