Probably the reason he was re-elected is that no one else wants this crappy job.
I actually feel bad for the guy. While we’re in the honeymoon of Trump’s victory, you can bet that the GOP is battered and divided badly. I don’t see how he’s going to go forward without betraying conservatism to serve a populist agenda, or angering Trump’s base by staying true to the principles. Good luck, buddy.
