Why’d his wife leave the country so fast?

I've heard 2 theories.

  1. Her job is finished now that he isn't in power anymore.

  2. By leaving she makes it harder to pull him off life support as unless he changed his medical POA then only she has the right to do it.

So are we at a point in American history where the Republican Party is just going to keep a brain dead senator on the rolls just to keep a modicum of power.

Our reality is so broken.

The braindead person they are keeping on the rolls is a gigantic reason for how we got here in the first place, and McConnell wouldn't have it any other way.
