    He used to have decent politics but he’s just become absolutely awful on almost everything.

      He was essentially Newt Gingrich’s coworker for a while (worked at the same lobby). What a fall from grace.

        Yep. He ended up doing healthcare lobbying so he flipped against a Medicare for all. He just tanked any semblance of what made him a likeable politician back in the 2000s. When he went after Bernie in 2016, it became really apparent what his allegiances were.

        Right, I know nothing of his politics but I remember him being fucking hype to run this country. I was too young to vote then, but he would have had mine. Mother fucker was excited.

          Same, I was middleschool/high school then and even then I thought it was weird seeing someone basically get shunned because he was excited for a job that traditionally was very reserved, ESPECIALLY after the war on terror issues. He was excited to try to help lol
