    There will always be more Josh Hawleys, because the shareholders of the GOP will find them, and get them nominated and then elected to safe seats.

    You can’t wait out the GOP in the hopes that nature will take its course. It will never, ever stop.

    We need an actual trust-busting, corruption-prosecuting bastard who isn’t afraid of keeping friends across the aisle, or preserving relationships with the right law firms or lobbying firms.

    We need someone who will pack the court.

    We need DC and PR to become states.

    We need someone who will cut off federal dollars to parasitic red states for destroying representative democracy.

    We need someone who will discipline people like Joe Manchin when they corruptly protect extractive industry. Turn off as much federal money to West Virginia as you can, and plaster the TV with ads saying “Joe Manchin made this happen.”

    We need someone who isn’t afraid to be LBJ, or TR.

    Basically, when the metaphorical foxes are running the henhouse, you need a bastard fox hunter. Not a slightly-less-increaingly-worse fox.
