Don’t confuse someone who’s playing stupid for someone who’s actually stupid. All those BS answers he gave during his hearing that asserted ignorance on elementary questions of law wasn’t ignorance at all. He was, get this, obfuscating, evading and lying. He knew if he answered those questions honestly, it would have been a 50/50 vote.
He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.
I get your point but I don’t think he was ever concerned about saying anything that might lead to a 50/50 vote. He knew all along that the Repukes would come through for him.
The Dems have absolutely no respect for Republicans. And rightly so because they have no principles.
