Count me out. His trolling of Trump has been pretty epic and he has made some great decisions and fought hard where his state and his political party is attacked, but hobnobbing with some people just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The billionaire thing is a serious problem too. The Democratic Party is not facing Republicans in 1987, this is a new group of radicals and playing footsie with them is no longer an option.
