C'mon man.  He's a perfect fit for the Biden Admin.  Totally incompetent. Gun grabber. Not too smart.  Got a post brain injury Gary Busey vibe going for him.  I mean what is not to like.

See what happens when you allow other people to steal your elections?
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.
