What's this?

No, another senior politician with a brain is retiring

Assuming that the Breitbart idiots get their way the retirees will be replaced by ideologues who have no idea what it takes to run a country. None of this is about policy. It's about the fact that we are bleeding talented and serious-minded people and replacing them with incompetent ideological fools. It's why I was so opposed to Trump even without the race-baiting and other stuff...the man is incompetent and mentally incapable of doing the job of running a country.
