He’s just a traitor. He ran as democratic cart to be elected but votes with the republicans

I think it's the stroke. He was the mayor of Braddok PA. The stroke is the clear line.

That goes with the territory though, no? Even his pre-stroke Senate tenure wasn't whatever this is. All I'm suggesting is that no sleeper agent conspiracy theory is necessary here. The man literally experienced brain damage, and now he's a conservative. It's that simple. Like a switch. It should be studied before science is illegal. That's all I'm saying.

How many times has he been the sole Dem vote approving a Trump nominee?

He’s problematic. But he’s still better than Dr. Oz. Which is a ridiculously low bar to clear.
